This is already implemented with a one-liner for slice views:

By changing a few lines in [ViewLightboxDisplay script](https://github.com/Slicer/SlicerJupyter/blob/beafcb192bc44ccc88e0c2c478df89fefcd43537/JupyterNotebooks/JupyterNotebooksLib/display.py#L236-L283) (essentially, replace `screenCaptureLogic.captureSliceSweep` by [`screenCaptureLogic.capture3dViewRotation`](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/0bc7cb16bd6cb9cdad7e589f44442e9bf7d0ee79/Modules/Scripted/ScreenCapture/ScreenCapture.py#L1214-L1215), you can create a table showing 3D view in different orientations. I’ve created this using Screen Capture module GUI, you can play a bit with the GUI, too to get to know a bit better what the module can do:

Finally, here is an example of a script creating some data augmentation for training data and generation of an overview image of all data sets:
