#!N This module creates an arbitrary cutting plane through 3-dimensional space 
and interpolates data values onto it. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N must be a 
field with 3-dimensional connections (i.e., cubes or tetrahedra). #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   point #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is a vector value 
specifying a point on the cutting plane. If this parameter is 
not specified, Data Explorer uses the center of the bounding box 
of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF . #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   normal 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is a vector value specifying the normal 
to the map plane and is interpreted as the end point 
of a vector from the origin (not from  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   point #!EF 
). The parameter defaults to [0 0 1]. #!I0 #!N #!N 
#!N #!N #!I0 #!N Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. To create 
a plane parallel to one of the axes along a connections 
boundary (for regular data) it is more efficient to use the 
Slab module with zero thickness, because it performs no interpolation. #!N 
#!I30 #!N 2. MapToPlane (unlike Slab) adds a "normals" component to 
the plane, so that the result is shaded. To eliminate the 
shading, remove the "normals" component with the Remove module or turn 
off the shading with the Shade module. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. 
If the specified plane is precisely at the edge of the 
data, the output may or may not appear, depending on the 
direction of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   normal #!EF . #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N 
Components #!N #!N Creates new "positions," "connections," and "normals" components. New 
"components" of all other input components are created (e.g., the "data" 
component) and contain values interpolated from the originals. #!N #!N Example
