I'm removing the core change flag. Even for a test, a minimal change description would be nice, e.g. what is the goal of the test, what is tested and how? This avoids tickets/branches that run forever because it is unclear when they are finished. The document linked from http://mitk.org/wiki/ChangeRequests/12268 does not describe a "swivel mode test".

Any test is welcome, though, so a simple description will do.

Also, is there a reason why you flagged the report "private"? You can undo this by unchecking and pressing "Save Changes" if you want to.

oblique multiplanar reconstruction reference of the Pic3d image

I implemented a first version of this test and pushed it into the branch "bug-12268-swivelrendertest". The test is working, it constructs an oblique mulitplanar reconstruction of the Pic3d and compares it to the reference image in the MITK-Data\RenderingTestData\ReferenceScreenshots directory. The plain is rotated around the origin with {X=0.2, Y=0.3, Z=0.5}. The mitkRenderingTestHelper has also been improved.

I enhanced the core change request.

I implemented a "GetDataStorage()" method for the RenderingTestHelper which is generally useful for modifying any kind of data during any rendering test.

This could be used to get the center of the image via:
mitk::Image::Pointer image = static_cast<mitk::Image*>(renderingHelper.GetDataStorage()->GetNode(mitk::NodePredicateDataType::New("Image"))->GetData());

mitk::Point3D imageCenter = image->GetGeometry()->GetCenter();

This point can be used for to reorient the slices, however, the resulting image is slightly different compared to the first implemantation of Alexandra:

mitk::Stepper::Pointer stepper = sliceNavigationController->GetSlice();
 sliceNavigationController->GetSlice()->SetPos(stepper->GetSteps()/2);

TODO: Decide which version we want to use for testing, generate the valid image and merge into the master.
