Abstract: A method of storing and restoring for replay a selected view from a series of views of a three dimensional image generated from an image object. The three dimensional image is generated in an image coordinate set of a coordinate space, and is configurable to sequentially make each view in the series of views viewable. Each view in the series of views has an associated configuration. The method comprises selecting a view from a series of views, storing an object unique identifier for the image object, storing the associated configuration for the selected view of the three dimensional image, retrieving the object unique identifier, retrieving the image object using the object unique identifier, retrieving the associated configuration for the selected view of a three dimensional image, generating the three dimensional image in the coordinate space from the image object, and configuring the three dimensional image to have the associated configuration for the selected view to make the selected view viewable.
