The Main tab on the left sidebar provides tools for choosing scene layouts and views properties, improving visualizations, making basic measurements, and other operations. These panels are arranged by default as shown below. However, you can rearrange the tool panels, as well as move them to the top of the workspace (see Customizing the Workspace for information about creating a custom workspace).
Main tab
The Manipulate panel provides a number of basic tools, such as Track, Pan, Cine, and Zoom, for working in 2D and 3D views (see Using the Manipulate Tools),
Items in the Flip/Rotate panel allow you to flip views horizontally or vertically. You can also rotate views 90-degrees clockwise and counter-clockwise or by a specified amount (see Flipping and Rotating Views).
Window leveling offers the opportunity of changing density relationships (brightness and contrast) within images to obtain the most useful information (see Window Leveling).
Provides a set of tools that you can use to make basic measurements on 2D views. You can measure straight lines and angles with the Ruler and Angle tools, or use the Region tools to automatically compute the perimeter and area of a selected portion of a 2D image (see Annotate Tools).
If required, you can translate and rotate the currently selected object or objects in a scene with the tools available in the Move panel (see Translating and Rotating Objects).
You can view the native value(s) and coordinates of the voxel under the mouse cursor in the Probe panel (see Using the Probe Tools).
A number of options are available in the Scene's Views Properties panel for modifying the properties of the 2D and 3D views in a scene (see 2D Scene's Views Properties and 3D Scene's View Properties).
You can add up to three visual planes to a 3D view to clip a objects along an arbitrary plane or planes (see Working with Planes).
The layout of the scenes in the workspace, as well as the layout of views in each scene, can be selected in the Layout panel (see Scene Layouts and Views).
To help accelerate repetitive post-processing tasks, you can import a saved image filtering workflow and then apply that operation to selected image data in the Image Processing panel (see Applying Saved Operations).
Lets you quickly access a selection of the available Dragonfly plug-ins — such as the Organizer, Deep Learning, Image Processing, Active Contour modules, as well as the Infinite Toolbox (see Plugin Toolbar).
In the 2D Animation panel you can play and record animations that automatically scroll through all image slices, or a selected range, in a volumetric dataset (see Playing and Recording 2D Animations).
The options on the Scenes Views Synchronizer panel let you automatically synchronize the zoom factor, position, and window leveling between the 2D or 3D views in multiple scenes in the workspace (see Synchronizing Scenes Views).
The option to accumulate and then export multiple screenshots is available in the Multiple Screenshots panel (see Taking Screenshots).
Options in the Scene View Orientation panel let you view and adjust the angle of rotation of a selected 2D view or to adjust the position of the camera in a 3D view (see Scene View Orientation).
Shapes are pre-defined geometrical forms to which 3D effects — such as clipping, window leveling, and edge enhancement — can be applied to selected objects, such as volumetric image data, regions of interest, multi-ROIs, and meshes (see Shapes).
Image and text overlays, which are available in the Overlays panel, can be added to 2D and 3D scene views to illustrate findings with text, graphs, and screen captures (see Image and Text Overlays).
