3D Rendering

[Dave Allen]

Good Morning all,
As part of my PhD work I have used the 3D rendering tools in ImageJ to
create 3D renderings of x-ray topographic images.

In particular I use 3D project in the stack plugin suite and 3D viewer.

I am in the process now of writing my thesis and was wondering if anyone
could direct me to where I can find out exactly how these plugins work and
what algorithms they use.

If possible, and I know that this might not be, I would also like to get a
sample piece of the coding.

Thanks in advance

If these are not 3rd party plugins, but plugins that are part of the
ImageJ standard release, then the source code is available online at
http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/developer/index.html.

Hi David,

the website is

http://3dviewer.neurofly.de/

and there is a paper about the plugin written by Bene (he is the
author of this excellent plugin) in BMC Bioinformatics.

http://www.biomedcentral.com/qc/1471-2105/11/274

Javadoc is available at
