    8484Pseudocolor plots are opaque by default.  This means that if you try to create a pseudocolor plot of a 3D dataset, you will get a large colored block.  The boundary conditions of the dataset will be visible, but you will probably want to see some of the interior.  This is where the ''slice operator'' comes in.

    8688The slice operator creates a 2D plot by taking a planar slice of a 3D one.  This is especially effective for problems with some kind of axial symmetry, where a cross section of a coordinate plane will give you a pretty good idea of what's going on throughout the simulation.
