# plotTensor

## Description

A function that plots slices of the tensor objects.

## Method

Selects data from the spacetime plane and plots a surface for all unique terms of the tensor passed in.

## Syntax

`plotTensor(`<mark style="color:blue;">`tensor`</mark>`,`` `<mark style="color:orange;">`alpha`</mark>` ``,`<mark style="color:orange;">`slicedPlanes`</mark>`,`` `<mark style="color:orange;">`sliceLocations`</mark>`)`

### Input Arguments

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">blue</mark> are required inputs.

<mark style="color:orange;">orange</mark> are optional inputs with native default values.
{% endhint %}
