Hello everyone.

I'm a beginner, and I'm working on displaying 3-D and volume data.

When I study "Using Clipping" of the 3D Plotting Tutorials (http://www.wavemetrics.net/tutorials/gizmo/clipping.mov), I couldn't find the "Clip Plane" which is shown in the "Display List" . And I couldn't find it in any help files.

Should I need to setup something or download some tools?

I think it's useful for my work, and I really need it.

Thank you very much!
Some advanced features of Gizmo are hidden until you enter this obscure command on Igor's command line:

ModifyGizmo userlevel=9


This will allow "Clip Plane" (an other items) to show up in the Gizmo Info panel's Display List popup menu.

You can see clipping planes in action open the example experiment in Files->Example Experiments->Visualization->Advanced->Clipping Demo.
