Description
The simple projection module carries out a regular field projection of the first field component parallel to one of the coordinate axes.
Input data
The input field is regular 2D or 3D with affine geometry.
Output data
The output field is regular 2D or 1D with affine geometry.
Computation parameters

The projection method drop down list chooses between several projection methods: Maximum, Minimum, Mean, Normalized mean.
The first projection axis radio button menu defines the projection axis. It diminishes the field dimension by one.
If the input field is 3D the second projection axis checkbox can be switched on and a second projection of the first projection results is made. It diminishes the field dimension by one, the output field is then 1D.
Example

Choose the test field module from test objects library, simple projection module from data filters library, graph 3D and axes 3D modules from 2D field mappers library and connect them. In the test field module choose 3D. In the simple projection module UI choose k as the first projection axis with Maximum projection method. In graph 3D module UI switch set axis to data range option on.
