Hi folks, I haven't found this anywhere in IDL yet, but maybe someone out there has: Are there any routines available to get transparent surfaces to plot in IDL or in PV-WAVE? For example, the SLICER would be an even more powerful tool if one could set differing transparency levels for given isosurfaces, slices, etc. (I guess I'm looking for POLYSHADE with a TRANSPARENCY keyword) Thanks in advance, -Dick Dick Jackson djackson@ibd.nrc.ca Institute for Biodiagnostics Opinions are mine alone.
