 <h1>Progress</h1>
 The problem we focused on during the Programming Week at MIT was how to implement our desired modifications to Slicer3’s main 3D viewer.  As previously described, we would like to present the volume as a cube with an oblique cut plane that slices through the volume, instead of three orthogonal cut planes as the viewer shows by default.  Before we arrived, we were able to create additional cut planes and link them to the volume.  By the end of the week, and with the help of Alex and Steve, we now have a fully functional oblique cut plane.  The steps we took to accomplish this solution include:
 * Computing the matrix transformations that align the slice node to the camera’s view plane normal
