Thanks for the thumbs-up, it’s always encouraging to hear!
As to your screenshot question: yes, it is possible via the screen capture tool. What you need to do is set the translation vector to the required value for the full shot, and also set the number of frames you want that shot to take. So if you want 200 slices in 200 frames, set the translation to 200 voxels and the number of frames to 200. Obviously, if you want to fly through 200 voxels at a slower rate, then increase the number of frames as required.
You can choose to set the translation vector in voxel units, or in millimeters relative to scanner (real world) coordinates, or camera coordinates. In your case, if you know you need to capture 200 slices along the AP direction, then:
- set the view to coronal
- move to the slice you want to start from
- set the translation to [ 0 200 0 ] in voxel units
- set the number of frames to 200
- press the ‘Play’ button to check that it does what it’s supposed to.
- press the ‘Restore’ button to go back to where you were, and adjust the settings if needed.
- press the ‘Record’ button once you’re satisfied with the shot.
This will produce one PNG image per shot, in the target folder specified, named according to the prefix specified. You can change both to suit. You’ll then need to create your movie from these PNG files using whichever means you prefer (I tend to use ffmpeg
or mencoder
, but there are lots of other apps out there than can do it).
Hopefully that’ll be enough to get you started!
