Class
    Foam::sampledSurfaces::cutPlane
 
Description
    A sampledSurface defined by a plane.
 
    Example:
    \verbatim
    {
        type        cutPlane;
        point       (0 0 0);
        normal      (0 0 1);
        interpolate yes;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
Usage
    \table
        Property    | Description             | Required    | Default value
        planeType   | Method of specification. E.g., pointAndNormal. | no
        point       | A point in the plane (for pointAndNormal) | yes
        normal      | A vector normal to the plane (for pointAndNormal) | yes
        interpolate | Interpolate values to the surface points? | no | no
        cellZone    | Zone containing cells to include | no | all
    \endtable
 
    Note: there are also other options for planeType, including
    'planeEquation' and 'embeddedPoints'.
