a plane cut

In the ``current plane'' frame, push the ``add'' button. The name of the new defined plane appears as ``plane 1''. You can now set the toggle ``infos'' on, a new window titled ``plane infos'' appears (figure 1.28). With this window, you can change the name of the plane, its equation, set a toggle which indicates if you want only to computes the mesh (``mesh''), to interpolate the current variable (``selected value'') at the mesh nodes, or to interpolate all the variables (``all values''). Now press the ``set'' button, and ``compute cut''. The new computed plane cut can be visualized with the ``planes'' toggle on.

Figure 1.28: the ``plane infos'' window.
\begin{figure}\centerline{\psfig{figure=Figures/planeinfos,
width=5cm,clip=3D,
bbllx=0pt,bblly=0pt,
bburx=324pt,bbury=453pt}}\end{figure}

You can add as many planes as you want, and delete previously defined planes. If your application need to compute several plane intersections for a good visualization, it is recommended to use ``the extended description langage'', as in the previous example, to define them.
