Hi Sudha, There is no black box way of doing this in Mayavi. I can suggest two ways to approach the problem.
The first would be to create 2 fields of data, one define the scalar that you are interested in, and the other one define iso surfaces to cut along. Then you can follow the Atomic Orbital example: http://github.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/auto/example_atomic_orbital.html This option is easy to implement, but will consume twice the amount of memory that should be necessary. The other option is to define a first scalar field, and define the cutting surface using a totally different approach (for instance defining directly a polydata, using a cylinder source, or using mlab.mesh). You can then use a vtk 'ProbeData' filter to interpolate the first data source on this surface. This will porbably be more efficient, but requires more knowledge of the Mayavi and VTK objects. Hope this helps, Gaël On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 03:17:36AM +0600, suddha sourav wrote: > I'm trying to help my students visualize how evaluating the z-transform of > a discrete-time signal on the unit circle gives us the Fourier transform > of the signal. > For this purpose, I need to cut a surface with a "Circular" cut plane. > I have read some posts and searched for related info, and the closest I > have come to doing this is the DataSet Clipper.
