How can I get the vector of the plane where the viewWidget is located, or how can I get the plane of its operator, looking forward to your answer

From the viewWidget you can get its `viewType` (viewWidget.get().viewType), from a viewType and the widget state, you can get the plane: `widgetState.getPlanes()[inViewType]`
