m

Double-click a MultiPlane node to load its image into the Viewer and its parameters
into the Parameters tab. Now, the Viewer switches to the MultiPlane’s multi-pane Viewer
interface.

Once the multi-pane interface is displayed, you can toggle among four different
layouts.

To change the MultiPlane Viewer layout:

m

Click the Viewer Layout button in the Viewer shelf. Keep clicking to cycle among all the
available layouts.

The relative size and orientation of each pane in all four layouts is fixed, although you
can zoom and pan within any pane using the standard methods.

Using Favorite Views in the Multi-Pane Viewer Display

You can use the standard Favorite Views commands within the Viewer to save and
restore the framing of each individual pane. In addition, when you right-click in the
Viewer shelf to access the Favorite Views commands that are available from the
shortcut menu, you can save and restore the state of all visible panes at once.
