[Paraview] Viewing a slice as a 2D object

[Magician]

I have some ideas.


1. Apply Transform filter.
   If you set scale factors as [1.0, 1.0, 0.0], then the source is smashed to x-y plane.

2. Apply Calculator filter.
   Checking the 'Coordinate Results' box and set a function you want.
   Then the source's points are translated by the function.


Magician.
