# Plotting atlas structures onto 3D slices
Using this following code, which utilizes the `ea_plot2datlasstruct` function found in the /support\_scripts folder of your Lead-DBS installation, you can plot atlas structures onto the slices in the 3D viewer (ElVis) such as seen in the figure below:
`path=[ea_space([],'atlases'),'DISTAL Nano (Ewert 2017)'];`\
`load([path,filesep,'atlas_index.mat'])`\
`atlas = atlases;`\
`clear atlases`\
`plane = 'x';`\
`coord = -13;`\
`thr = 0.5;`\
`ea_mnifigure('DISTAL Nano (Ewert 2017)')`\
`ea_plot2datlasstruct(path, atlas, plane, coord, thr)`
Atlas structures projected onto the 3D viewer in MNI space using the above code snippet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://netstim.gitbook.io/leaddbs/appendix/useful-command-line-tools/plotting-atlas-structures-onto-3d-slices.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
