Thanks. Actually, I did a poor job explaining what I want to do.
I’d like to have *partial* clip planes (as opposed to “infinite"
planes over the entire domain). More specifically, my current use
case is a bunch of spheres (representing biological cells) inside
a spheroidal tumor. I’d like to cut out an octant, for example,
from that spheroid to be able to peer inside better.

<div class="">I’ve mocked up an example, using random points, and
put the PV state file at <a
href="https://github.com/rheiland/paraview_play" class=""
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/rheiland/paraview_play</a>
(along with some sample /images). I just used the Box option of
the Clip filter, because the Plane option seems to define an
infinite plane (via Point and Normal). But the Box params
(Position, Rotate, Scale) is not intuitive for my use case.
Ideally I’d like to be able to specify a Corner and 3 Vectors.
And, eventually, I’d like “cutter” results, where the
spheres/cells are actually cut and capped.</div>

</div>
<div class="">So perhaps, I need an alternative pipeline for my
use case. Suggestions welcome. For that matter, am I mistaken in
thinking I can do what I want using OSPRay spheres?</div>
