Module: Cross Section ()

Description:

Displays a plane slice of a Unstructured Model Field scalar field. The plane slice is colored using the connected scalar field.
Ports and connections which are common to all display modules of the are described in Unstructured mesh display properties.

Connections:

See Unstructured mesh display common ports and connections.

Data [required]
The scalar field to extract the slice from. Used for slice coloring.

Points To Fit [optional]
Connection to a vertex set with arbitrary number of points, on which the position of the plane is based. The option "Points to fit" is only available, if you have not connected your own vertex set.

ROI [optional]
See description in Unstructured mesh display properties.

Ports:

Orientation

Aligns the cross section on the given plane.

Options

The rotate toggle controls the visibility of a rotation handle on the cross section plane. Drag this handle with the mouse in the 3D viewer to rotate the cross section to any desired orientation.

If the immediate toggle is set, the cross section is updated every time you drag it with the mouse in the 3D viewer. Otherwise, only the bounding box of the cross section is moved and the update takes place when the mouse button is released.

The fit to points toggle lets you reset the plane by clicking on at least 3 different points in the scene. After enabling this toggle, you should switch to interaction mode by pressing the ESC key inside the viewer. Then click 3 times at different points on any geometry in the scene. The plane then will be automatically adjusted to match these points. The virtual trackball - visible when rotate toggle is active - will be moved to the center of the picked points. After 3 points have been picked, this toggle is automatically unchecked, unless you pressed the shift key. Shift-clicking allows you to select more than 3 points. In this case the plane that best fits the selected points will be computed.

Translate

This slider controls the position of the cross section. The cross section may also be dragged with the mouse in the 3D viewer in the direction perpendicular to the plane.

Frame

This port is used to display or hide the frame, set the frame width and color.
