Clip (Clip)
Clip with an implicit plane. Clipping does not reduce the dimensionality of the data set. The output data type of this filter is always an unstructured grid.
The Clip filter cuts away a portion of the input data set using an implicit plane. This filter operates on all types of data sets, and it returns unstructured grid data on output.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Clip Type
(ClipFunction)
This property specifies the parameters of the clip function (an implicit plane) used to clip the dataset.  

The value must be set to one of the following: Plane, Scalar.

 
Input
(Input)
This property specifies the dataset on which the Clip filter will operate.  

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkDataSet.

 
Inside Out
(InsideOut)
If this property is set to 0, the clip filter will return that portion of the dataset that lies within the clip function. If set to 1, the portions of the dataset that lie outside the clip function will be returned instead. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Scalars
(SelectInputScalars)
If clipping with scalars, this property specifies the name of the scalar array on which to perform the clip operation.  

An array of scalars is required.

 
Use Value As Offset
(UseValueAsOffset)
If UseValueAsOffset is true, Value is used as an offset parameter to the implicit function. Otherwise, Value is used only when clipping using a scalar array. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
Value
(Value)
If clipping with scalars, this property sets the scalar value about which to clip the dataset based on the scalar array chosen. (See SelectInputScalars.) If clipping with a clip function, this property specifies an offset from the clip function to use in the clipping operation. Neither functionality is currently available in ParaView's user interface. 0

The value must lie within the range of the selected data array.
