Hi Ken, I I can load a bunch of .nrrd volume scans into ParaView as one unit. But when I play the animation, the animation only stays at the first volume and would not proceed.
The reason may be that the files do not have time step information. In the "information" tab, the "Time" table of my 4d stack is empty. Is there an easy way to fix this? I used ImageJ to create those images. -Joe On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 5:02 PM, Moreland, Kenneth <kmo...@sandia.gov> wrote: > Image segmentation is not my specialty, but I don't think there is an easy > answer.
