We have a common enough problem. We have a regular grid of points in 3D where each point has a scalar value. We want to display this as a solid with with the cubes that correspond to the points colored in relation to the value at that point. I hope that despite this questionable description you understand what I mean. The tricky bit is that we have to do some sort of transparency so that you can see all the cubes. All of this is pretty standard, in fact we have two programs (a demo and AVS) that will do it mostly. Its that mostly that has got us stuck. The reason that I want a package with source code that does this, preferably under X, is so I can modify it to animate the pictures. If you have a package that does this sort of thing or know of a freeware package that does, please send me mail. If you want your package to be able to do single frame animation recording and just haven't gotten to it, lets talk. For those of you interested in the details, the data comes from a model of wave propagation in the heart muscle.
