orthoslice

Synopsis

produce a slice of a structured field perpendicular to a coordinate axis

Input Port

in_field	Mesh_Struct + Node_Data
ui_parent	user interface parent object

Parameters

axis	UIslider	specifies the constant dimension
plane	UIslider	specifies the slice index of the axis

Output Port

out_fld	Mesh_Struct + Node_Data
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

orthoslice subsets a structured field by extracting one slice plane. The slice plane can only be orthogonal to the X, Y, or Z axis.

Input

in_field

The input must contain a structured mesh (mesh type Mesh_Struct, Mesh_Unif, or Mesh_Rect) and Node_Data. The input can be 1D, 2D, or 3D.

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

axis

UIslider. An integer slider. Selects which axis (X = 0, Y = 1, Z = 2) the orthoslice is perpendicular to. The default is 0. If the field is 1D or 2D, three values are still displayed. Select the values meaningful for the input data.

plane

UIslider. An integer slider. Selects which plane to extract from the input. The default is dims[axis]/2. The range is 0 to max_dim.

Output Port

out_fld

The output is a field with a new structured mesh of the same type as the input field. The mesh is the mesh of the slice. It contains the slice's Node_Data.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
