Screenshot Resolution

[chris_nik (Christian Nikolov)]

Hello all,

I have noticed that when I do an “Annotation Screenshot” with Scale factor 5.0x, the resolution of the Screenshot matches the resolution of the Slice in Slicer. However, when I zoom into the Screenshot, I get progressively lower resolutioin compared to zooming on the same area in the Slice View in Slicer.

I figured this is normal because the Screenshot is a snapshot of the current zoom in Slicer. However, is there a way to create a Screenshot that keeps the information of the DICOM when zooming in outside of Slicer, and doesn’t lose resolution?

This technique could be adapted to work on the slice views too, I believe:

That’s a great idea! You can resize the window to any size - does not matter how large your display is (I’ve tested it on Windows, I don’t see a reason why it would not work on other operating systems or window managers). So, a code snippet to render a 3D view at arbitrarily high resolution: Set up a 3D view outside the main view layout: # Switch to a layout that has a window that is not in the main window layoutManager = slicer.app.layoutManager() originalLayout = layoutManager.layout layou…
