Use the Movie window to view image data in a window as a sequence of movie frames. This can be particularly useful for viewing volume rendered data or a sequence of time points.
Open the Movie window by choosing View | Movie from the main softWoRx menu or from the Image window.
Note When the Movie menu is opened from the main softWoRx menu, controls for all currently open (and not iconified) windows are shown on the Movie menu. When it is opened from the View menu of an individual image window, only that window is controlled by the Movie tool. |
