[Paraview] How to view the multiple slices on a volumn rendered object?

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Weicheng,

The "Auto Accept" option mostly does what you want.  Open up the ParaView options dialog box (Edit -> Settings or ParaView -> Preferences on Mac), go to the General page and click on the Auto Accept checkbox.  Once you turn this on, you will never have to hit Apply; all changes get applied as soon as you make it.  This change is system wide, it will happen for any reader, source, or filter, not just the slice filter.  Also, slice filter will only update once you let go of the 3D widget; it will not continuously change as you move it around.

Another option you might be interested in is the slice offset values option in the slice filter.  The slice filter allows you to place multiple slices at once.  Just scroll to the bottom of the object inspector and add a new range of slice offset values.

Yet another option you might be interested in is the ability to animate the slice plane.  Open the animation view (View -> Animation View) and add a track for the Slice Offset Values parameter of the slice filter.  The default values will animate the slice plane along the normal direction of the slice widget.

I have a volume rendered 3D cube (uniform rectilinear grid data), which
is rendered by loading the data into the Paraview and applying a
"threshold filter" on it. Now I apply a "slice filter" on this volume
rendered 3D cube. However, in order to see that 2D plane cut by the
"slice", I have to click at the "apply button" wherever I place the
"slice" on the 3D cube.
Is it possible that I can see the 2D plane cut by the "slice" as I move
the "slice" on the 3D cube?

Thanks!
