For Users

Datasets containing volumetric data can be visualized using the "Visual Datasets" feature by processing the dataset with the plugin pl-visual-dataset as described in the page "For Dataset Publishers". In the feed view of ChRIS_ui, an additional button appears for pl-visual-dataset nodes, labeled "View Volumes".
