A simple JavaScript library for biomedical visualisation

MARender is a JavaScript 3D rendering system based on three.js (http://threejs.org/).

The rendering system is centred around a JavaScript class MARenderer and aimed at simple web-based visualisation of 3D bio-medical datasets, with particular emphasis on anatomy and mapped spatial data (eg gene expression).

Typical uses combine surface, section and point cloud renderings. Surfaces and point clouds are most readily read from VTK format files using the modified VTK loader https://github.com/ma-tech/three.js/blob/master/examples/js/loaders/MAVTKLoader.js and sections either from static images or from an IIP3D server (https://github.com/ma-tech/WlzIIPSrv).
