I see that the viewing options already include Side by side, but that only allows each viewport to show a (2D) slice, not a 3D view. I feel that it would sometimes be useful to view just one slice and one 3D view, which displays each with more space than in the Four-Up view. Three options I can th…

We provide a handful of layouts, but you can specify custom layouts (including a side-by-side 3D+slice view) by an XML string. This example in the script repository does almost exactly what you describe. You can change vertical to horizontal to have side-by-side instead of over-under. The idea of m…

[image] lassoan: This example in the script repository does almost exactly what you describe. You can change vertical to horizontal to have side-by-side instead of over-under. This seems to work well. (One quirk: I had to toggle the crosshairs off and then back on again to be able to see the…

You can enable/disable the splitter (“struts”) by the split attribute. Slicer has lots of features that are not fully exposed to the users to keep things a bit simpler. I think that’s the main reason why the splitter is not used in every view layout.

[image] lassoan: You can enable/disable the splitter (“struts”) by the split attribute. Ah, yes. I see now that it is occasionally used in some built-in layouts too. For example, the Conventional layout is the first on the list, and the properties can be viewed with >>> layoutManager = sli…

In case others want to be able to conveniently define the three distinct two-up views comprising 3D+Red, 3D+Yellow and 3D+Green, I have extended the existing code as follows. It can be run (per session) from the “Python Interactor” (button on toolbar). # https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev…

Thanks for sharing the script. Alternatively, you could add just one new layout, containing a “tabbed slice view” and “3D view” side by side. Something like this: [image]

That’s good too. (Although I’m not sure how to make the tabs — never even saw/noticed them before on any other view.) Actually, another way is to just make the one basic (untabbed) two-up view and then manually adjust the orientation from the drop-down menu. [image] That workflow is almost as ef…

Is there a way to view just one slice with one 3D view?
