Volume Alpha Window

The Volume Alpha tool window controls the opacity of the radar product values and the isovalue. When in Lit Volume mode, the mouse cursor is a plus sign and the opacity curve is bright white. To set the opacity for a range of values, left-click and drag to draw a line at the desired opacity level. Opacity values go from 0% at the bottom to 100% at the top. When in Isosurface mode, the isovalue pointer is bright white and the mouse cursor is a left-right arrow when positioned over the isovalue pointer. To change the isovalue, left-click and drag the pointer along the color table. The current position of the mouse cursor is displayed in the Alpha window title bar.
