New feature: Thick slab reconstruction from slice controllers and views

Support
1

Thick slab reconstruction (TSR) can now be enabled and modified from the slice controllers and slice views!

Enabling thick slab reconstruction as well as selection of the composite method (min, max, mean or sum) has been available through the python console.

Now these options are available through both the slice controller and the right-click context menu on the slice views. If the interactive option is selected, the thickness, angle and position of the TSR can be adjusted by moving the slice intersections in the slice views.

Slice Viewer (Handle Interaction ) Slice Viewer (Right-click context menu) Slice Viewer (slice intersection & Slab & Interactive) Slice Viewer (Red & Yellow Slab enabled then Linked)

These features are currently available in the preview version of 3D Slicer.
