Have a look at EXTRACT_SLICE.

Airy,

Thank you for your quick reply, and I am really impressed by
your cool demo from your forum. On the other side, I am also
scared by the bunch of code... I will shrink it according
to my requirement. Thank you!

Best,

Nico

So far as I know, IDL often define the plane use the plane function
like:aX+bY=cZ+d=0.If you wanna use a plane to "cut" the 3d image
array,you can try this method:Mesh_Clip.Maybe this link will be
useful:http://www.ownearth.net/Forum/view.asp?fid=3&id=8 5.It's a
chinese page,but I think that demo maybe useful to you,and the source
code can be donwload from that page.If you have any questions you can
contact me with the email.
Good Luck!
