It is definitely doable with the programmable filter although not as trivial as it would be with a tool like VisTrails. The programmable filter can accept multiple inputs. You could use the point from on of its inputs to setup the parameter of an internal slice filter - which requires importing the vtk.graphics module. If you can't figure it out, let me know, I'll help.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I have encountered the following problem in a set of animations:<br>
There is a moving particle in a field and I want to slice the field<br>
at the particle's position (effectively the y-component of the position).<br>
Additionally the slice should move automatically with the particle<br>
for making an animation.<br>
Has anybody done something like this before?<br>
The programmable filter seems a good point to start, but I need<br>
at least two inputs for figuring out the offset.<br>
Thanks in advance for any pointers or help!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Thorsten<br>
