+**Slices** is a type of field presentation, when the given mesh is cut by a number of planes.
+These planes are colored according the the values applied to the mesh cells.

+
+To create a **Slices** presentation,
+
+* Select a field item in the **Object Browser**, and
+* Choose **Presentations > Slices** menu or click |img_sl| button in the *Presentations* toolbar.
+
+As a result, **Slices** presentation is published in the **Object Browser** under selected field and displayed
+in the 3D Viewer.
+
+**Slices** presentation has the same base parameters as :ref:`fields_scalar_map_presentation_page`, plus
+the following own ones:
+
+* **Displayed component**: this parameter is available only for vector fields; it allows coloring the presentation
+ in accordance with the Euclidean norm value of a vector field or with the given component of a vector field,
+* **Number of slices**: specifies the number of cutting planes; max allowed value of this parameter is 20,
+* **Slice orientation**: defines an orientation of cutting planes.
