I am developing a module where I use the open curve markups with spline interpolation to plot points. I have SetSliceProjection(True) so that the projected control points show up on the 2D slice viewers. However, I cannot find a means to get the whole curve (including the interpolated points between the control points) to project onto the slice viewer and create a smooth curve. Is there a simple way to achieve this effect? Thank you very much.
Hi Slicer Support community,
Please let me know if there is any additional information I should post to receive guidance on this issue. I am new to the forum and want to make sure I provide adequate information so I can receive support!
Thank you very much.
There’s probably a better answer from someone who knows how the markups display manager works, but here’s a hacky and not great idea that I’ll throw out: resample the curve to produce lots of control points, and then adjust the display properties of the control points to make their display area cover the curve in a connected way.

You can configure the fade-out distance of the curve in slice views (distance from slice at the curve starts to fade and distance at the curve completely disappears). If you set these distances to a large value (e.g., 1000mm) then the entire curve will be visible in the slice.
curveNode.GetDisplayNode().SetLineColorFadingStart(1000.0)
curveNode.GetDisplayNode().SetLineColorFadingEnd(1001.0)

Great, this is fantastic. Thank you both for the suggestions.
