Transparency Render Mode

Principle:
In the Transparent mode a three-dimensional
image with a transparent effect is calculated. At
least two two-dimensional
(computed from two different angles) are used
depending on the volume orientation. In contrast
to the Shadow mode the scene here is illuminated
by diffuse white light from the rear. By changing
the available parameters one can mix different
channels and reveal
information in those channels. This view is
particularly useful for visualizing the three-
dimensional relationships
within the volume. This mode can be displayed
both in CPU based Voxel mode (Basic) and also
(with the help of a suitable graphics card) with
accelerated calculations in so-called OpenGL mode
(Advanced).
