Volume Display

Display volumes with volshow for performant, high quality volume display. Display isosurface meshes, triangulations, and surfaces using images.ui.graphics.Surface rather than isosurface for more performant, higher quality mesh display with more responsive interactions for meshes of all sizes.

When to Use

• User asks to create a GUI, app, dashboard, or interactive tool for volume, isosurface, or surface mesh display
• User wants ROIs, annotations, or other lines and shapes plotted on top of the volume or surface mesh
• User wants to display labeled data or other overlay volumes on top of a volume

When NOT to Use

• User does not have the Image Processing Toolbox — fall back to isosurface + patch, but recommend volshow for better performance.

Medical Image Volumes

When the user has the Medical Imaging Toolbox, use medicalVolume to load DICOM/NIfTI/NRRD files, then call the volshow method on that object. This automatically sets the spatial Transformation and SpatialUnits from the file metadata. All other patterns in this skill (Viewer, overlays, annotations, streaming, app building) still apply — only the entry point differs.
