# Compute Feature Largest Cross-Section Areas

## Group (Subgroup)

Statistics (Morphological)

## Description

This **Filter** calculates the largest cross-sectional area on a user-defined plane for all **Features**.  The **Filter** simply iterates through all **Cells** (on each section) asking for **Feature** that owns them.  On each section, the count of **Cells** for each **Feature** is then converted to an area and stored as the *LargestCrossSection* if the area for the current section is larger than the existing *LargestCrossSection* for that **Feature**.


### Input Parameter(s)

| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Parameter Notes | Description |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Plane of Interest | Choices |  | Specifies which plane to consider when determining the maximum cross-section for each Feature |
| Image Geometry | Geometry Selection | Image | The complete path to the input image geometry |

### Input Cell Data

| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Parameter Notes | Description |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Cell Feature Ids | Array Selection | Allowed Types: int32 Comp. Shape: 1 | Data Array that specifies to which Feature each Element belongs |

### Output Feature Data

| Parameter Name | Parameter Type | Parameter Notes | Description |
|----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------------|
| Feature Attribute Matrix | AttributeMatrixSelection |  | The path to the cell feature attribute matrix |
| Largest Cross Sections | DataObjectName |  | Area of largest cross-section for Feature perpendicular to the user specified direction |
