The definition of the slice to be created
Example

In This Topic
    CreateSlice Method
    In This Topic
    Create a slice. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public void CreateSlice( 
       SliceDefinition sliceDef
    )
    Public Sub CreateSlice( _
       ByVal sliceDef As SliceDefinition _
    ) 

    Parameters

    sliceDef
    The definition of the slice to be created
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run
    Invalid slice definition specified
    Null slice specified
    Remarks
    Slice definitions must have both a SliceDefinition.VoxelPosition and SliceDefinition.Normal specified or an ArgumentException will be thrown.
    Example
    Create a Slice
    //var voxelLayer = ... ;
    //Must be on the QueuedTask.Run()
    
    if (voxelLayer.Visualization != VoxelVisualization.Volume)
        voxelLayer.SetVisualization(VoxelVisualization.Volume);
    voxelLayer.SetSliceContainerExpanded(true);
    voxelLayer.SetSliceContainerVisibility(true);
    
    //To stop the Voxel Exploration Dockpane activating use:
    voxelLayer.AutoShowExploreDockPane = false;
    //This is useful if u have your own dockpane currently activated...
    
    //At 2.x - var volumeSize = voxelLayer.GetVolumeSize();
    
    //Use the SelectedVariableProfile to get the slices currently in the TOC
    //via its associated volume
    var volume = voxelLayer.SelectedVariableProfile.Volume;
    var volumeSize = volume.GetVolumeSize();
    
    //Orientation 90 degrees (West), Tilt 0.0 (vertical)
    //Convert to a normal
    var normal = voxelLayer.GetNormal(90, 0.0);
    
    //Create the slice at the voxel mid-point. VoxelPosition
    //is specified in voxel-space coordinates
    
    //At 2.x - 
    //voxelLayer.CreateSlice(new SliceDefinition()
    //{
    //    Name = "Middle Slice",
    //    VoxelPosition = new Coordinate3D(volume.Item1 / 2, volume.Item2 / 2, volume.Item3 / 2),
    //    Normal = normal,
    //    IsVisible = true
    //});
    
    //Create the slice on the respective volume
    volume.CreateSlice(new SliceDefinition()
    {
        Name = "Middle Slice",
        VoxelPosition = new Coordinate3D(volumeSize.X / 2, volumeSize.Y / 2, volumeSize.Z / 2),
        Normal = normal,
        IsVisible = true
    });
    
    //reset if needed...
    voxelLayer.AutoShowExploreDockPane = true;
