Class
    Foam::sampledSurfaces::cuttingPlane

Description
    A sampledSurface defined by a plane using the iso-surface algorithm
    to 'cut' the mesh.

    Example:
    \verbatim
    {
        type        cuttingPlane;
        planeType   pointAndNormal;
        point       (0 0 0);
        normal      (0 0 1);
        filter      full;
        interpolate yes;
    }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        planeType    | the method of specification of the plane | yes |
        filter       | the level of filtering to perform on the iso-surface \\
                                               | no          | full
        interpolate  | interpolate values to the surface points | no | no
    \endtable
