Dear David and Chris,
Thanks for your help.
The problem is as follows: I like to visualize my volumes showing in a
single output window a surface rendering of the volume plus three
planes perpendicular to the coordinate axis. The planes are obtained using
slice and I do not know how to place them on the screen so they do not
overlap unless I shift them with translate, the length of the translation
is obviously related with the volume dimensions. For a short while I
explored "Arrange" as a possible way to distribute the images properly
but I just do not know how to connect the output of slice with array. Any
ideas ;-)
