Example of Cut Segment presentation
Cut Segment is a simplified variant of Cut Lines presentation, displaying a single line instead of a set of lines. The axis of this line is defined by two points in a 3D space.
To create a Cut Segment presentation:
- – Right-click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object browser and from the pop-up menu choose Cut Segment, or
– Click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object browser and select from the main menu Visualization > Cut Segment, or click "Cut Segment" icon in the Visualization Toolbar.
"Cut Segment" icon
- Cut Segment: this tab of the dialog box contains the parameters of the cut segment.
-
Point 1 and Point 2 spin boxes allow to set the coordinates of two points, defining an axis of the segment.
-
Show preview check box allows to edit the parameters of the presentation and simultaneously observe the preview of this presentation in the viewer.
-
Invert curve check box allows to invert the resulting curve.
-
Use absolute length check box allows to see the real length of the line, instead of [0,1] interval.
-
Generate Data Table: If this check box is marked, Post-Pro will automatically generate a data table on the basis of your Cut Segment presentation. This table will be created in the structure of the study.
-
Generate Curve: If this check box is marked, Post Pro will automatically generate curve line on the basis of values taken from the generated data table. This curve will be created in the structure of the study and can be visualized in a XY plot.

- Scalar Bar tab allows to define the parameters of the scalar bar displayed with this presentation (see also).
After you have finished with setting these parameters, click OK. Your presentation with scalar bar will be immediately displayed in the viewer:
Tip: From Cut Segment presentation you can create a data table. This table will consist of the field scalar values located on the cut line of the constructed presentation. After that your data table can be used for construction of a 2d plot based on the scalar values from the table (see also: Creating curves and Creating Plot 2D presentation).
