| iTool User's Guide: Working with Volumes |

## Introduction

The IDL iVolume tool displays your data in volume form. The iVolume tool then allows you great flexibility in manipulating and visualizing volume data. To use iVolume, from the IDL Command Line, type `iVolume`. An empty iVolume tool appears. You can then import volume data using any of several data import methods. For more information importing volume data see Importing and Exporting Data.

Note For more information on accepted arguments, see IVOLUME.

The iVolume tool can be launch in many different ways:

- At the IDL Command Line without arguments or keywords

- At the IDL Command Line with arguments or keywords

- Through the File New Visualization iVolume menu option in the IDL Development Environment

- Through the File New iVolume menu option in an iTool
