+.. properties::
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This algorithm performs slicing of multiDimensional data according to a chosen projection, and binning choice. The algorithm uses :ref:`algm-BinMD` or 
+:ref:`algm-SliceMD` to achieve the binning of the data. The choice of child algorithm used for the slicing is controlled by the NoPix option.
+
+The synax is similar to that used by `Horace <http://horace.isis.rl.ac.uk/Manipulating_and_extracting_data_from_SQW_files_and_objects#cut_sqw>`__.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+**Example - Contrived example using projections:**
+
+.. testcode:: Example4D
+
+   to_cut = CreateMDWorkspace(Dimensions=4, Extents=[-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-10,10], Names="H,K,L,E", Units="U,U,U,V")
+   # Add two fake peaks so that we can see the effect of the basis transformation
+
+   FakeMDEventData(InputWorkspace='to_cut', PeakParams=[10000,-0.5,0,0,0,0.1])
+
+   FakeMDEventData(InputWorkspace='to_cut', PeakParams=[10000,0.5,0,0,0,0.1])
+    
+
+   SetUB(Workspace=to_cut, a=1, b=1, c=1, alpha=90, beta=90, gamma=90)
+   SetSpecialCoordinates(InputWorkspace=to_cut, SpecialCoordinates='HKL')
+   projection = CreateEmptyTableWorkspace()
+   # Correct number of columns, and names
+
+   projection.addColumn("double", "u")
+   projection.addColumn("double", "v")
+
+   projection.addColumn("double", "w")
+   projection.addColumn("double", "offsets")
+
+   projection.addColumn("str", "type")
+
+   projection.addRow([1,-1, 0, 0, "r"])
+
+   projection.addRow([1, 1, 0, 0, "r"])
+   projection.addRow([0, 0, 1, 0, "r"])  
+   
+   # Apply the cut
+
+   out_md = CutMD(to_cut, Projection=projection, P1Bin=[0.1], P2Bin=[0.1], P3Bin=[0.1], P4Bin=[-5,5], NoPix=True)
+   print 'number of dimensions', out_md.getNumDims()
+   print 'number of dimensions not integrated', len(out_md.getNonIntegratedDimensions())
+   dim_dE = out_md.getDimension(3)
+   print 'min dE', dim_dE.getMaximum()
+   print 'max dE', dim_dE.getMinimum()
+
+Output:
+
+.. testoutput:: Example4D
+
+   number of dimensions 4
+   number of dimensions not integrated 3
+   min dE 5.0
+   max dE -5.0
