cutout

public void cutout(VJAlphaColor ac,
                   int i,

                   int k)

This routine decides whether to show a cutout slice or a rendered surface at pixel i,j. The routine is as follows: Check whether ac contains a surface near vl (the opacity of ac > 0.5). If there is a surface at or near vl, the 3 intersections of the ray from i,j into the volume with the x,y,z cutout-planes are determined. -the surface is rendered if the closest intersection is beyond the crossing of the cutout planes (as seen from the viewplane), or if the the ray is parallel to any of the planes. -the value at the intersection is interpolated, classified and composed if the closest intersection is on this side of the crossing. You can optimize this by only calculating the intersection if ijk is closer to the viewplane than the crossing of the cutout planes.
