MATLAB: Changing Matlab toolbox sliceViewer properties

Question

Hi I have a 3d image that I would like to view inbetween the layers, I am trying to use the sliceViewer tool: https://uk.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/sliceviewer.html

I am able to load the tool but i am unsure how to change the properties so that I could view the slices from the Y direction and the X direction instead of the Z direction as is the default value.

Additionally in the same kind of question how would i change the properties of the orthosliceViewer: https://uk.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/orthosliceviewer.html

I would like to view the different layers instead of the default at the midplane.

Hi,

For Matlab functions, the arguments are provided in the format of name-value pairs. You can refer to examples in the following doc

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/sliceviewer.html

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/orthosliceviewer.html

Here is small code-snippet to change the view of sliceViewer

load mristack
cmap = parula(256);
s = sliceViewer(mristack,'Colormap',cmap,'SliceDirection','Y') %SliceDirection is the property that changes the view of image slices

Hope this helps!
