plane_crop

Synopsis

subset a volume using any number of 2D uniform grids as slicing planes

Input Ports

in_field	Mesh
in_plane	Plane_Grid
ui_parent	user interface parent object

Parameters

Inside	UItoggle	intersected cells in or out
And/Or	UItoggle	output cells outside or inside planes

Output Ports

out_fld	Mesh + Node_Data
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

plane_crop subsets a field by outputting all whole cells that are inside or outside a volume created by an unlimited number of slice planes.

Input Ports

in_field

The input is a field with any Mesh. Node_Data is optional.

in_plane

An array of Plane_Grids that will slice the volume. A Plane_Grid is defined as Grid_Unif+Space2+Dim2. It is, therefore, any 2D uniform grid.

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

Inside

UItoggle. When on, the entire cell intersected by a plane is output. If it is off, the entire cell is not output.

And/Or

UItoggle. When on, the cells inside the slicing planes are output. If it is off, the cells outside the slicing planes are output.

Output Ports

out_fld

The output is a new Mesh and Node_Data that is the plane-cropped input Mesh, plus any Node_Data for the output nodes. The mesh contains a reference to the input field's xform.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
