Issue 2: When using the Screenshot scaling option, to get a larger image, the result of the scaled image is broken and random. Happens for any factor beyond 1.0 X
Having similar issues that with Capture mode == single frame. If I remove the integer “%05d” . It fails “Error:not all arguments converted during string formatting” v5.9.0
In the discussion there, @lassoan argued that the current behavior is not broken, but just not intuitive for the way I was thinking about it. You might weigh in there with your thoughts on how the single frame screen capture should work.
I’m not sure what’s going on with the scaled screenshot. It looks like a tiled image is just being assembled in the wrong order. Do you have multiple monitors? What operating system are you using? This feature was definitely working in the past.
This has been broken for sometime. The solution is to switch to a 3D only layout in the application, then choose the full layout. It will achieve the same thing as 3D rendering.
The main issue though, this 2.0 scaling is simply interpolation of the image inside the 3D viewer. Plus it doesnt give the option to adjust the 3D view to fit your data axes easily. If you want both, you will better of using the HiResScreenCapture in SlicerMorph, which does off-screen rendering. The way is to use it is to undock the 3D view, adjust all the visual properties (such as the ratio of window), and then capture it at the specified magnification. There is a short tutorial here.
Thanks to @mikebind and @muratmaga for their replies and solutions on these issues.
Indeed keeping the default name entry for the single frame PNG makes it work, but as it is mentioned on the thread you pointed at, having a name reset button would be useful.
Also, I had not used HiRes Screen Capture before, it works as described. Now, is there any way to make those screen captures transparent?
You mean the background? Not for the time being, I will add that request to the backlog of stuff.
Meanwhile, you can set the background to a uniform color (like white) and then use something like GIMP to remove that. But I agree it is better to have that in the module.
I have added the option to save transparent background (only for PNG format). If you are using v5.10, tomorrow update your Slicermorph extension. Or download download the preview version tomorrow and then install SlicerMorph.
I didn’t test it extensively, but it seems to work. Let me know how it works.
