\n <b>Cut Segment</b> is a simplified variant of
-\ref cut_lines_page "Cut Lines" presentation, which is used to
-display a single line instead of set of them. Axis of this line is
-defined by coordinates of two points in 3D space.

<em>To create a Cut Segment presentation:</em>
\par
<b>Cut Segment:</b> this tab of the dialog box contains the
parameters of the cut segment.
<ul>
-<li><b>Point 1</b> and <b>Point 2</b> spin boxes allow to set coordinates
+<li><b>Point 1</b> and <b>Point 2</b> spin boxes allow to set the coordinates
of two points, defining an axis of the segment.</li>
<li><b>Show preview</b> check box allows to edit the parameters of the
presentation and simultaneously observe the preview of this
<b>Tip:</b> From <b>Cut Segment</b> presentation you can create a
<b>data table</b>. This table will consist of the field scalar values
located on the cut line of the constructed presentation. After that
-your data table can be used for construction of a 2d plot of curves
+your data table can be used for construction of a 2d plot
based on the scalar values from the table (see also:

<li><b>Gauss Metric</b> field: This field allows to choose what kind
of value will be extracted from gauss points data. (Note: This field
-is shown only for two types of presentantation - <b>Scalar Map</b>
+is shown only for two presentation types - <b>Scalar Map</b>
and <b>Deformed Shape and Scalar Map</b>, and it is active only when
the result is based on multiple gauss points).</li>
<li><b>Use field range:</b> if this check box is selected, all cells

-<li><b>2D Quadratic</b> - allows to choose the way quadratic elements
-are visualized: as straight lines or as arcs of circles. Also, the
-user can change the properties of quadratic elements visualization
-via Post-Pro module's preferences: representation type (lines/arcs)
-and maximum deviation angle value used by application to build
-arcs.</li>

<li>\b Opacity - allows to set the value of opacity of the
presentation between 0 (transparent) and 100 (opaque).

-presentation, displayed by <b>Point Sprites</b> or <b>OpenGL Points</b>
-\ref primitive_types_page "primitives" this property allows only to
-switch between transparent and opaque modes. Textures are drawn in
-opaque mode as long as the opacity level is equal 100% and in
-transparent mode when opacity level is lower that 100% (note that
-they become invisible when the level is equal 0%).
