Summary0003952: SNL: Implement 'capping' on isosurfaces
DescriptionPlease implement 'capping' on isosurfaces. So when you do things like a clip on a dataset you don't see 'shells' but you see the surfaces capped at the clip boundaries. EnSight does this by default.

Too late to get this in 2.6. Allen will get a better description.

This isn't capping on isosurfaces, but rather the following:

The user has cell based volume fractions. He does a cellToPoint, isosurface, then clips the isosurface with a plane. He'd like to see the values of the data on the plane. Since he's just clipping an isosurface, the interior is empty. He can't clip the original data and threshold that because the outline won't match the isosurface (it is a cell based outline instead of a contour based outline).

One possible solution is the notion of a point based data threshold where the exterior surface looks like an isosurface at the specified value and the interior is solid

Another solution is allow clipping data by an isosurface, or clip a cut plane by the isosurface.

Do we still care about this?

This was implemented with isovolumes (clip by scalar). Closing.
