Layered Material Slice Plot
As described in the previous section, you can generate slice plots using the layered material dataset. You can also use a Layered Material Slice plot which allows you to plot many layers or interface. You can optionally arrange them in a linear or rectangular array, and add layer numbers to the plot automatically. The plot is also useful in the following cases:
•
When you want to create a slice only in one or a few selected layers.
•
When you want to create a slice plot through some or all layers, but not necessarily perpendicularly to the thickness direction.
•
When you want to examine a particular layer in detail, and want to plot the results at a position within the layer, away from the midplane.
