Your questions is unclear to me. What do you mean by the "slices"? What do you mean by "render"? (Rendering usually means plotting/visualization, but Meep itself contains no plotting software.) If you have a 2d calculation and are wondering what a 3d object means in that context, Meep uses the intersection of the object with the z=0 (xy) plane in that case; I think this is described in the manual somewhere. --SGJ _______________________________________________ meep-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://ab-initio.mit.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/meep-discuss
