Using ClipPlanes with AnatomyData












4












$begingroup$


Suppose I render a simple eyeball:



AnatomyPlot3D[Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "RightEyeball"]]


Anatomy plot of eyeball



but want to cut it in half using ClipPlanes, for instance to eliminate the left half of the eyeball.



By what principled method do I know how to specify the plane? I tried the obvious



ClipPlanes -> {1,0,0,0}


and



{{0,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1}}


without success.

          $begingroup$

          Of course ClipPlanes works here. The problem is that you had mistakenly assumed the PlotRange:



          eyeball = AnatomyPlot3D[Entity["AnatomicalStructure", "RightEyeball"]];

          pr = PlotRange[eyeball]
          {{-43.6181, -17.298}, {-166.051, -138.829}, {1504.96, 1531.19}}


          Thus,



          Show[eyeball, 
          ClipPlanes -> InfinitePlane[Mean[Transpose[pr]], {1, -1} IdentityMatrix[3][[{2, 3}]]]]


          eyeball cross-section
