Hi again,

OK, I'm looking into a view function but have to admit some of the vtk syntax 
is (as of yet) non-intuitive to me.  I'll keep plugging away as I find time.

A few other questions: 
1) When using vtk_plot3() followed by vtk_axis("square"), the points are 
scaled and look like ovoids... is there a way to avoid this?
2) When plotting vtk_contour() followed by vtk_contour() (I want lines and 
colors in the same plot), they do not end up on the same z position.  Is this 
expected?

Thanks again, keep up the good work.
Pete
