Name: ChairPlot 2D Txt - Chair Plot using 2D texture map mode Type: mapper, C Input: field 3D uniform byte Output: geometry Parameters: X integer cut-point of chair slice Y integer cut-point of chair slice Z integer cut-point of chair slice Draw_Sides boolean interior only or all Description: The ChairPlot module is another alternative way of visualizing 3D volume data. The volume is displayed with 3 orthogonal slice planes, with the exterior boundary filled in behind, so it looks like a section has been removed from a corner of the volume. It is similar to excavate brick, except that it makes 2D polygons, with UV texture coordinates and resamples the input data into 2D images that glue onto the slice sections. This way, 2D texture map facilities are used, rather than 3D texture. Several hardware vendors, notably E&S, SGI, Kubota, Vistra, etc., have hardware support for this type of texture mapping. The software renderer also has support for this mode, where no accelerator is available. The controls are virtually identical to excavate brick.
