Synopsis
This module extracts a 2D (1D) field from a 3D(2D) field. The data to be extracted is determined by a slice plane positioned arbitrarily.

Description
Arbitrary_Slicer extracts a 2D field corresponding to a slice plane with an arbitrary position and direction from a given 3D field data. If the input is a 2D field data , then a 1D field is extracted. The slice plane is displayed using its bounding lines.
Input Ports
in_field
Mesh. The field to slice, which can be any 3D or 2D mesh.
ui_parent
A port to connect to a user interface object that contains the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.)
Parameters
bounds on/off
UItoggle. If this parameter is turned on, the slice plane is displayed in terms of its bounding lines.
Plane Transform Editor
UItoggle. If this parameter is turned on, a panel for transforming the slice plane is displayed.
plane distance
UIslider. This parameter determines the distance by which the slice plane is moved in a parallel direction from the position set using the plane editor. During this operation, the bounding box of the slice plane does not move. Furthermore, all operations done using the Plane Transform Editor apply to the position of the plane before this movement (to the position of the bounding box).
the first dimension. Jmin/Jmax draw a mesh or face showing the 2D slice of field objects with the minimum/maximum index in the second dimension. Kmin/Kmax control the third dimension. The default for all is off.
map components
UIoptionBoxLabel. Option buttons to pick which components of in_field's node data to map to the output field. The default is the first (0th) component. If node data labels are present, they are displayed.
map cell data
UIoptionBoxLabel. Option buttons to pick which components of in_field's cell data to map to the output field. The default is the first (0th) component. If cell data labels are present, they are displayed.
Output Ports
out_fld
The output field contains a new, subsetted 2D (or 1D) mesh and a new node and/or cell data.
out_plane
Plane_Mesh. A 2D mesh representing the plane used to do the slicing.
out_obj_slice
The renderable object corresponding to out_fld.
out_obj_plane
The renderable object corresponding to the slice plane's bounding box.
