Summary of feature request description: Actual behaviour: The VolumeVisualization functionality does not allow saving and restoring transfer functions. Expected behaviour: VolumeVisualization should allow saving and restoring of transfer functions. Cause of the bug: Feature request Proposed solution Jens Poxleitner implemented serialization of TFs in QmitkDesignGalleries. This should be easy to port to VolumeVisualization. We'll create a new FileWriter and FileReader to save and load mitktransferFunctions in XML-files. Affected classes: (mitkTransferfunction) mitkTransferFunctionFileWriter / -Reader How will the bugfix get tested? Will be tested by some specific unit tests
