# plotThreePlusOne

## Description

A function that plots the 3+1 components of the metric tensor.

## Method

Finds the 3+1 terms and then plots slices of these components based selection of the dimensions to slice along.

## Syntax

`plotThreePlusOne(`<mark style="color:blue;">`metric`</mark>`,`` `<mark style="color:orange;">`slicedPlanes`</mark>`,`` `<mark style="color:orange;">`sliceLocations`</mark>`,`` `<mark style="color:orange;">`alpha`</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 %}
