Returns

void

Defined in

packages/core/src/RenderingEngine/BaseRenderingEngine.ts:392

---

disableElement()

disableElement(viewportId): void

Disables the requested viewportId from the rendering engine:

2. remove the renderer from the offScreen render window if using vtk.js driven rendering pipeline
3. resetting the viewport to remove the canvas attributes and canvas data
4. resize the offScreen appropriately (if using vtk.js driven rendering pipeline)

Defined in

packages/core/src/RenderingEngine/BaseRenderingEngine.ts:209

---

enableElement()

enableElement(viewportInputEntry): void

Enables the requested viewport and add it to the viewports. It will properly create the Stack viewport or Volume viewport:

1. Checks if the viewport is defined already, if yes, remove it first
2. Checks if the viewport is using a custom rendering pipeline, if no, it calculates a new offscreen canvas with the new requested viewport
3. Adds the viewport

renderingEngine.enableElement({
 viewportId: viewportId,
 type: ViewportType.ORTHOGRAPHIC,
 element,
 defaultOptions: {
   orientation: Enums.OrientationAxis.AXIAL,
   background: [1, 0, 1],
