[Paraview] slice as background image?

[Cory Quammen]

Matthias,

You could change the camera from using perspective projection to parallel
projection, then translate the plane to be being the streamlines. Check the
"Camera Parallel Projection" checkbox under the View properties panel. As
long as your view direction is orthogonal to the slice plane, the
streamlines will appear in the correct position relative to the slice plane
after you translate one or the other.

HTH,
Cory
