Summary0003869: Gradient opacity transfer function is not taken into account correctly in CPU volume ray caster
Description

When using VTK CPU Ray Casting mode in the volume rendering module, changing the gradient opacity transfer function has some effect (changes how the image looks) but it does not do the mapping correctly.

For example, load MRHead and set the following control points in the gradient opacity function (ramp):
Point; X; O
0; -10; 1.0
1; -5; 0.0
2; 25; 0.0
3; 80; 1.0

This produces a nice transparent image using Slicer-4.3.1 and creates an empty image using the latest Slicer trunk version.

(When using VTK CPU Ray Casting changing the gradient opacity transfer function has no effect at all.)

TagsNo tags attached.

Note on the gradient opacity transfer function: it is a simple ramp to implement high-pass filtering - opacity O=0.0 till x=25, increases linearly to O=1.0 till x=80, then O=1.0 remains constant for higher x values. On Slicer GUI opacity of the first point cannot be changed (it's 1.0), therefore we needed to add those points with negative x values to ensure O=0.0 at x=0.
