Hi Kiani,

  Both maximum intensity projection and sum intensity projection are
easily accomplished in Volumizer. You simply need to set the OpenGL blend
functions appropriately. Have a look at the man pages for glBlendFunc and
glBlendEquation...

  As for integrating this with MPR, I may not understand what you are
asking for. MIP or SUM would take a number of slices (i.e. more than one!)
and project either the maximum intensity or the summed intensity values.
You could certainly throw in an OpenGL clipping plane and get a MIP or SUM
projection of the non-clipped out region of your volume. Is that what you
are looking for, or something else?
