[Paraview] Viewing a slice as a 2D object

[Pradeep Jha]

Yes,  I was getting that something like that. Even if I have a 2D slice,
still I am visualizing/analyzing the figure in a 3D format. Is it possible
to just treat it as a 2D object (get rid of all the 3D objects around).
 Even when I snap the camera to the plane's normal, to get the value of a
point on the slice I need to specify (x,y,z). Ideally, I want to probe into
the contour values, use tools like "Probe" and "Ruler" on the slice just by
specifying the coordinates (x,y) and not (x,y,z).
