Description
Could implement lots of primitives beyond just slice "planes". The shader system is set up to support this, but some boilerplate setup and GUI/API decisions are needed.
Other primitives:
- slice sphere
- slice cube
- slice slab (keep stuff within a fixed width from a plane)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing slice-plane implementation and the shader system's support for slicing. Resolve the GUI/API design for sphere, cube, and slab primitives, then implement the agreed behavior and verify each primitive in the viewer.
