Scenes and Views
The Dragonfly workspace can be divided into multiple scenes that contain different views of the objects contained within each scene. A scene can be as simple as a single view of a dataset or it can contain additional objects, such as annotations, regions of interest, and meshes. A scene can also be divided into multiple views, or segments, that display multi-planar reformats or a 3D view of the objects contained in the scene. For example, you could divide a scene into a 2x2 grid that shows a 3D rendering of a dataset and three reformatted views in the XY, XZ, and YZ axis representations, as shown below.
Workspace scene with 3D and 2D views
The highlight around a view indicates that it is currently selected. Clicking anywhere inside a view will select it. See Selecting the Views Preferences and Selecting the Colors Preferences for information about changing size of current view border and its color.
Scene views can be resized manually by dragging the scene view splitters.
Scene Layouts and Views
The layout of the scenes in the workspace, as well as the views in a scene, can be selected in the Layout panel (see Scene Layouts and Views).
2D Views
Image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes, as well as annotations, can be viewed in the 2D views that are part of a scene (see 2D Views). These views can include text annotations, which are interactive and can be used zoom, scroll, and adjust window leveling, as well as a scalebar and legends. A 3D Cursor is also available in Track mode to link the different axis representations of volumetric data,
3D View
Three-dimensional image data, as well as objects such as regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes, can be viewed in the 3D view that is part of a scene (see 3D Views). The 3D view also provides access to the Movie Maker panel, in which you can create animated sequences that tell informative stories (see Working with the Movie Maker).
Scene's Views Properties
The options in the Scene's Views Properties panel let you select the elements that are shown in the 2D and 3D views in a scene, as well as modify settings such as the background color, render mode, and lighting (see 2D Scene's Views Properties and 3D Scene's View Properties).
Scene View Orientation
The options in the Scene View Orientation panel let you view and precisely adjust the angles of rotation — Yaw, Pitch, and Roll — of a selected 2D or 3D view, as well as to modify the position of the camera. Additional options for 2D views let you navigate to the different slices contained in volumetric image data (see Scene View Orientation).
Data Properties and Settings Panel
The Data Properties and Settings panel provides access to the objects that can be shown in a scene, as well as to settings for modifying the appearance those objects (see Data Properties and Settings Panel).
