How to work with surface plots

Surface plots show a 2D image as a 3D plot, where the 3rd dimension is given by the intensity.

Because only one slice of an image stack can be displayed a time, SurfacePlot2D offers a method to set the displayed slice:

// Add the image as a volume
Content c = univ.addSurfacePlot(imp);


// Retrieve the SurfacePlotGroup
SurfacePlotGroup splot = (SurfacePlotGroup)c.getContent();

// Scroll through the slices
for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
	splot.setSlice(i + 1);
}
