Slice (Cut)
This filter slices a data set with a plane. Slicing is similar to a contour. It creates surfaces from volumes and lines from surfaces.
This filter extracts the portion of the input dataset that lies along the specified plane. The Slice filter takes any type of dataset as input. The output of this filter is polygonal data.

Slice Offset Values
(ContourValues)
The values in this property specify a list of current offset values. This can be used to create multiple slices with different centers. Each entry represents a new slice with its center shifted by the offset value.  

Determine the length of the dataset's diagonal. The value must lie within -diagonal length to +diagonal length.

 
Slice Type
(CutFunction)
This property sets the parameters of the slice function.  

The value must be set to one of the following: Plane.

 
Input
(Input)
This property specifies the input to the Slice filter.  

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkDataSet.
