Try running this sequence, and see if the result is what you are
looking for:
iimage,dist(200),zvalue=0.
iimage,dist(200),zvalue=200.,/over,rgb_table=1
icontour,dist(200),zvalue=100.,/over,color=[255,0,0]
iplot,200*dindgen(20)/(19d0),100+100*cos(dindgen(20)*!
dpi*4/19d0),replicate(300,20),/over,color=[0,255,0],thick=3.

They are colored contour plots that I've put on a stereographic map
projection. In terms of slices, right now I'm just dealing with two
slices, but might add more depending on what I am trying to show. I
figure that once I've got two slices figured out, it shouldn't be that
difficult for me to add more. In terms of dimensions, are you asking
about the data limits(lat=[40 90], lon [-180 180]), the number of
pixels or?
