Improving the interactive mode

[af-a]

Description

The GUI that is used in the interactive mode can be improved in various ways. The purpose of this issue is to suggest and discuss future functionalities and improvements.

Here are a few suggestions:

• Adding the ability to zoom using mouse scroll
• Adding a color bar
• Adding a user input window that enables configuring parameters such as thresholds, the overlay/surface to load, lighting intensities, colors, etc.
• Adding the ability to capture a snapshot and save it

All these are really nice to have, but not necessary for the main purpose of generating screenshots in QC, testing pipelines and for publications. So I would put them on medium to low priority. The highest priority of these would be the ability to adjust thresholds in interactive mode, in order to know what to set in the screenshot mode.

Update

A simple user input application was implemented in #7.
At the moment, this only allows adjusting thresholds during runtime.

Further extensions to this application and the other suggested improvements may be added later on, but are not currently prioritized.
