This network is a modification of the network for displaying a two-dimensional slice through a data cube parallel to two of the axes (see Section 8). Instead of displaying a single slice it generates an animation showing successive slices ‘sweeping’ through the data cube. Note that, as before, the colour table for converting data values into displayed colours is derived from the range of values in the entire data cube, not just the current slice being plotted, in order to facilitate visualisation as the current slice sweeps through the data cube.

9.1 Use

The network is shown in Figure 12.

9.2 Notes

This network is identical to network slice.net for displaying a single slice except that the right-hand of the two ‘Integer’ modules in slice.net, which specified the requested slice, has been replaced with the ‘Sequencer’ module.
