Adding Volshow Plot to Existing Figure

Hi all,

I'm interested in using volshow or a similar function to display my volumetric data. However, I have multiple 3D images I would like to look at on the same plot, and it isn't clear to me how to do that with volshow. Ideally, I would combine volshow with an existing 3D image (surface mesh) I've produced with another method.

Thanks!

Hi,

To display volumetric data using "volshow", you can refer the following documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/images/ref/volshow.html

If you are working with medical volumetric data, the following references would be of help,

To combine "volshow" with an existing 3-D image that you generated, you can follow the example provided in:

I looked through the blocked-volume link that you provided, but I see nothing there about combining volshow with existing 3-D images ?

There is no apparent way to combine volshow() with anything else. The volume object returned by volumeViewer() does not have an axes . The Parent property of the volume object does have an Axes property but it is a non-standard axes that has no Parent property so it cannot be re-parented to a different location.
