[Mrtrix-discussion] nii conversion and general questions

Hi Vinod,

I completely agree, a 3D viewer would be great, and it is definitely
on the wishlist. Unfortunately, I'm far too busy at the moment to work
on that. Maybe in a few months' time...

In the meantime, you can get a kind of '3D feel' for your tracks this way:

1. load an image
2. adjust the contrast/brightness until the image is completely black
3. load your tracks using the tractography sidebar
4. untick the 'crop to slab' option in the tractography sidebar
5. untick the 'lock to image axes' option in the View menu
6. rotate your tracks around by holding down the Ctrl key while
dragging the mouse with the left or middle button down (left button:
rotate within plane, middle button: rotate out of plane).

It takes a little getting used to, but the tracks look good
(especially with the 'depth blend' option and the opacity lowered a
touch).

Let me know if that helps.
Cheers,

Donald.
