SlicePyr

DESCRIPTION

This module takes a slice through a 3D pyramid of cells and outputs the colored plane as geometry. This module intersects the elements with a plane and creates polygons. The polygons are colored at each vertex with the interpolated value. It can handle pyramids containing faces with up to four sides.

INPUTS

Port: Input
Type: Pyramid
Constraints: 3..-layer.
1..-baseLat.
n-D compression.
n-compression type.
This is the input pyramid to be sliced.

Port: Transform
Type: Lattice
Constraints: 2-D.
1-vector.
float.
This is the input transform for the slice plane.

Port: Colormap
Type: Lattice
Optional: This port is optional
Constraints: 1-D.
4-vector.
float.
This is an optional colormap for the interpolated scalar value.

WIDGETS

OUTPUTS

Port: Isosurface
Type: Geometry
This is the output slice.

PROBLEMS

This module tests every pyramid element for intersection with the slice plane. This can be slow for very large datasets.
