## Slice Viewer

The SliceViewer shows 2D slices of multi-dimensions workspaces, allowing the user to choose which dimensions to visualize, at what points.

Right-click on an arrow in the multi-slice view in the VatesSimpleInterface to open the SliceViewer at the same slice.

## Line Viewer

The LineViewer is used within the SliceViewer to integrate 1D lines through multi-dimensional data sets:

## Multi-Dimensional Creation GUI

Create Multi-Dimensional Workspace GUI

- Converts N Matrix Workspaces into N Multi-Dimensional Workspaces.
- Optional merging into a single super Multi-Dimensional Workspace.
- Can work either directly on your processed files, or on workspaces already in the MantidPlot Workspace List.
- Allows modifications to individual workspaces without leaving the GUI, such as adding missing log values.
