vtkVolumeProperty is used to represent common properties associated with volume rendering. This includes properties for determining the type of interpolation to use when sampling a volume, the color of a volume, the scalar opacity of a volume, the gradient opacity of a volume, and the shading parameters of a volume.
When the scalar opacity or the gradient opacity of a volume is not set, then the function is defined to be a constant value of 1.0. When a scalar and gradient opacity are both set simultaneously, then the opacity is defined to be the product of the scalar opacity and gradient opacity transfer functions.
Most properties can be set per “component” for volume mappers that support multiple independent components. If you are using 2 component data as LV or 4 component data as RGBV (as specified in the mapper) only the first scalar opacity and gradient opacity transfer functions will be used (and all color functions will be ignored). Omitting the index parameter on the Set/Get methods will access index = 0.
When independent components is turned on, a separate feature (useful for volume rendering labelmaps) is available. By default all components have an “opacityMode” of FRACTIONAL, which results in the usual addition of that components scalar opacity function value to the final opacity of the fragment. By setting one or more components to have a PROPORTIONAL “opacityMode” instead, the scalar opacity lookup value for those components will not be used to adjust the fragment opacity, but rather used to multiply the color of that fragment. This kind of rendering makes sense for labelmap components because the gradient of those fields is meaningless and should not be used in opacity computation. At the same time, multiplying the color value by the piecewise scalar opacity function value provides an opportunity to design piecewise constant opacity functions (step functions) that can highlight any subset of label values.
vtkColorTransferFunction is a color mapping in RGB or HSV space that uses piecewise hermite functions to allow interpolation that can be piecewise constant, piecewise linear, or somewhere in-between (a modified piecewise hermite function that squishes the function according to a sharpness parameter). The function also allows for the specification of the midpoint (the place where the function reaches the average of the two bounding nodes) as a normalize distance between nodes.
See the description of class vtkPiecewiseFunction for an explanation of midpoint and sharpness.
Usage
// create color and opacity transfer functions const ctfun = vtkColorTransferFunction.newInstance(); ctfun.addRGBPoint(200.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0); ctfun.addRGBPoint(2000.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0); const ofun = vtkPiecewiseFunction.newInstance(); ofun.addPoint(200.0, 0.0); ofun.addPoint(1200.0, 0.2); ofun.addPoint(4000.0, 0.4);
// set them on the property volume.getProperty().setRGBTransferFunction(0, ctfun); volume.getProperty().setScalarOpacity(0, ofun); volume.getProperty().setScalarOpacityUnitDistance(0, 4.5); volume.getProperty().setInterpolationTypeToLinear();

setIndependentComponents
Does the data have independent components, or do some define color only? If IndependentComponents is On (the default) then each component will be independently passed through a lookup table to determine RGBA, shaded.
Some volume Mappers can handle 1 to 4 component unsigned char or unsigned short data (see each mapper header file to determine functionality). If IndependentComponents is Off, then you must have either 2 or 4 component data. For 2 component data, the first is passed through the first color transfer function and the second component is passed through the first scalar opacity (and gradient opacity) transfer function. Normals will be generated off of the second component. When using gradient based opacity modulation, the gradients are computed off of the second component. For 4 component data, the first three will directly represent RGB (no lookup table). The fourth component will be passed through the first scalar opacity transfer function for opacity and first gradient opacity transfer function for gradient based opacity modulation. Normals will be generated from the fourth component. When using gradient based opacity modulation, the gradients are computed off of the fourth component.

It will set the label outline thickness for the labelmaps. It can accept a single number or an array of numbers. If a single number is provided, it will be used for all the segments. If an array is provided, it indicates the thickness for each segment index. For instance if you have a labelmap with 3 segments (0: background 1: liver 2: tumor), you can set the thickness to [2,4] to have a thicker outline for the tumor (thickness 4). It should be noted that the thickness is in pixel and also the first array value will control the default thickness for all labels when 0 or not specified.

setShade
Set the shading of a volume.
If shading is turned off, then the mapper for the volume will not perform shading calculations. If shading is turned on, the mapper may perform shading calculations - in some cases shading does not apply (for example, in a maximum intensity projection) and therefore shading will not be performed even if this flag is on. For a compositing type of mapper, turning shading off is generally the same as setting ambient=1, diffuse=0, specular=0. Shading can be independently turned on/off per component.
