Volume Viewer interface not happy with non-Z planes

Description

If I use a command to show non-Z planes, e.g.

vol #1 planes y,110

the Volume Viewer menu switches from "volume" to "plane" as expected. However, it becomes impossible to go back to "volume" using that Volume Viewer menu (it just stays "plane" and won't show the full region).

Also if I use another volume command to show planes along another axis, it turns into a line. Maybe that is expected. However, I expected it to stop showing planes along Y and instead show the plane I most recently specified.

In both situations one has to use the command option "region all" to get back.

Fixed.

Volume viewer code was not switching back to showing full region unless plane slider was shown. If plane was shown by a command then there was no slider. Fixed so it ignores whether or not the plane slider is shown, and switches to full region if a single plane is shown and a non-plane style is chosen.

Would be nice if the slider appeared when a command shows a single plane (x, y, or z) but currently it does not do that.
