Hi,

I would like to develop a modul, that transform the green slice view into the cochlear view.  
For this I have to make an training database, thus I want to save the orientation matrix of the green slice after I transform it into the cochlear view manually. How can I save this matrix, for example to excel, or notebook?

Thanks for helping!  
Best Regards!  
Bence

Have you looked at the Volume Reslice Driver module in the SlicerIGT extension?
