Back to Slicer3 UI Design

Slice viewing can operate in the context of a single slice reformation or in a linked state where multiple slice viewers respond to interactions with any slice viewer. When Slice Viewers are linked, a number of viewing geometry, view representation and view content parameters are linked across viewers.

• Not all keyboard controls have been captured in this table.
• Many controls will not illustrate the linked behavior until the interaction completes (translate, zoom, slice offset).
