Slice

Create a slice plot.

Syntax

model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Slice");

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();

Description

 model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Slice") creates a slice feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.

Only one direction of slices is possible in one plot. Use different slice plots together to accomplish several slices in different directions.

The following properties are available:
