 * ``warpx.plot_B_field`` (`0` or `1` optional; default `1`)
     Whether to plot the magnetic field.
 
+* ``slice.dom_lo`` and ``slice.dom_hi`` (`2 floats in 2D`, `3 floats in 3D`; in meters similar to the units of the simulation box.)
+    The extent of the slice are defined by the co-ordinates of the lower conrer (``slice.dom_lo``) and upper corner (``slice.dom_hi``). The slice could be 1D, 2D, or 3D, aligned with the co-ordinate axes and the first axis of the coordinates is x. For eg: if for a 3D simulation, an x-z slice is to be extracted at y = 0.0, then the y-value of slice.dom_lo and slice.dom_hi must be equal to 0.0
+
+* ``slice.coarsening_ratio`` (`2 integers in 2D`, `3 integers in 3D`; default `1`)
+    The coarsening ratio input must be greater than 0. Default is 1 in all directions. 
+    In the directions that is reduced, i.e., for an x-z slice in 3D, the reduced y-dimension has a default coarsening ratio equal to 1. 
+
+* ``slice.plot_int`` (`integer`)
+    The number of PIC cycles inbetween two consecutive data dumps for the slice. Use a
+    negative number to disable slice generation and slice data dumping.

 Checkpoints and restart
 -----------------------
 WarpX supports checkpoints/restart via AMReX.
