Hmm - doesn't look like a skirt to me. It's simply the data that's
plain, flat zero around the edges of the distribution.

As to how you would get *that* to disappear.. well, consider
the following:

d = shift(dist(400),200,200)
im = (d-50)*exp(-d^2/50.0^2)
ix = where(d gt 100)
im(ix) = 1000
shade_surf,im,max=100

Hmm.. nice hat for halloween? In other words - don't blame RSI,
but maybe Wayne Itano, who made the picture?

Personally, I don't mind the way it's made, though.

Regards,

Stein Vidar
