VolumeSlice

The `VolumeSlice' representation draws a texture mapped two-dimensional slice from a volumetric data set already loaded into VMD using the mol volume text command, or by other means. The colors span the scalar value range of the data set, with red indicating low values and blue indicating high values in the data. The slice is drawn as a plane perpendicular to the X, Y, or Z axis, and can be positioned anywhere within the coordinate system of the volumetric data set. This feature is currently only available on machines that have full support for hardware 3-D texture mapping. On machines lacking 3-D texturing, nothing will be displayed. Future versions of VMD will greatly enhance the user interfaces and capabilities of this feature.

The following selectors control the VolumeSlice representation:
