This short video is the final of a series of nine that talks about volume visualization. Patrick gave this talk internally to help technical support engineers understand capabilities of MATLAB for volume visualization.
I like his slow, clear, methodical presentation with great visualizations. It is the first time I have deeply understood some of the volume visualization techniques we have.
Hey Patrick and Doug, nice wrap-up work. is it possible to put a “wrap-up script” of all the examples (from video 1-9) so one can play with it — im too lazy to type ‘em up..
You have the ability to set transparency (alpha) on HG objects. The trick is getting the handle to them. Different functions hand back handles at different levels of granularity. You can use whatever algorithm you want to set the different transparency values (constant, or dependent on a function like you mention) are possible.
The more custom the design, the more you will be hunting around for handles and such though.

Hi Vick,
I’m working on getting the scripts I used to generate the presentation’s images on the File Exchange. Stay tuned…

The scripts are now available here:

Can the flux tubes by made semi-transparent, with transparency dependent on the length of the line of sight through the flux tube?
Allen,

Doug, that’s very true, I’ll try to set the different transparency values too.
