I connect video data to Slicer using OpenIGTLinkIF, and the video appeared as an vtkMRMLVectorVolumeNode in my scene, When I click it’s “Visible” buttom, it shows in my first slice view. But I want it to show in a new view, or in an independent window, slice view need to show my CT slice.  
I have find method to show a 3D view or slice view in an independent window: [this code](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#show-a-slice-view-outside-the-view-layout), but how to do in my situation?

You can achieve displaying your CT data in the existing three slice views by setting the foreground and background of the slices. Additionally, you can display a video in a new slice view.
