Iso-contour Mode (Pseudo-Snake)

In the Iso-contour Mode the cursor changes to

HOT Button HOT iso or COLD Button Iso COLD or EQUAL Button ISO Equal

As soon as the left mouse button is clicked into an image, the pseudo-snake algorithm tries finding the largest closed iso-contour at the clicked image value and represents it as a closed polygon.

VOI Iso-Contour

Note: Each time the button is clicked, the contour is replaced by a new iso-contour. This behavior is in contrast to the other drawing modes which require to first clear a contour, or opening it. To add a new iso-contour make sure you press the control button and the left mouse button simultaneously (CTRL+click)

The user can select the appropriate mode from the option list next to the iso-contour button as illustrated below. The automatic mode of iso-contouring can be 2D or 3D and dependent whether the user is aiming at a hot, cold or equal contour.
