<br>
I am using a pipeline with vtkImageResliceMapper --> vtkImageSlice --><br>
vtkImageStack for displayng a slice of a volume imported from a dicom<br>
series. This works well with the default slicing plane (0,0,1), however,<br>
when I try changing the slicing plane using<br>
vtkImageResliceMapper::<wbr>GetSlicePlane()->SetNormal() the plane does not<br>
change. When I print the SlicePlane normal, I can see that the new normal is<br>
registered. Also, using UpdateInformation() or Modified() did not have any<br>
effect.<br>
<br>
My undersanding is that the SlicePlane is what determines the plane that the<br>
camera will follow when SliceFacesCameraOn() and SliceAtFocalPointOn() are<br>
used.<br>
<br>
What is the correct approach for changing the slicing plane of<br>
vtkImageResliceMapper?<br>
<br>
Below is the code that I am currently using.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
