Here is an example of what I mean:

PRO main
x = Scale_Vector(Randomu(seed, 50), 35, 70)
y = Scale_Vector(Randomu(seed, 50), -50, 50)
z = Randomu(seed, 50)* 100
scatter_surface, x, y, z
END

If I run this with the default ORB radius of 0.015, the orbs
are too small to be seen. If I change the ORB radius to 0.5,
then I see the data, but the orbs looks like tiny sausages
instead of orbs. Sigh... Go figure. Better ask one of the
iTool experts. They probably have an idea.

Cheers,

David
