Hello,  
I have been trying to visualize a deformation field in Slicer (it’s a vector image), but I am having some issues. I would like it to be shown with arrows on the respective points.

I am trying to display the Glyph, which is located in Transforms. But it also requires a Transform but I don’t want to convert something, I just want to visualize the deformation field which I have in a different way (with arrows). Is there a way to do that, other than the Transforms module and if not, how can I do that with that module?

Thank you very much,  
Eleni

Display feature of Transforms module is developed specifically for displacement field visualization. The easiest is to load your displacement field as a displacement field transform by selecting `Transform` in `Add data...` dialog’s `Description` column:
