Here is an example of a program that will render a 3D
isosurface with axes. I do it in the Z-buffer. Notice
that you don't have to use the command:

TV, PolyShade(v, p, /T3D)

in the Z-Buffer. PolyShade does the rendering directly.
In fact, what is returned from the PolyShade function when
it is used in the Z-buffer is an integer!

David

PRO Example, data

; Get demo data set if necessary.

IF N_Params() EQ 0 THEN BEGIN
filename = Filepath(Subdir=['examples','data'], 'head.dat')
OpenR, lun, filename, /Get_Lun
data = BytArr(80, 100, 57)
ReadU, lun, data
Free_Lun, lun
ENDIF

; Get data ranges. (Dimensions for simplicity.)

s = Size(data)
xmax = s(1)
ymax = s(2)
zmax = s(3)

; Open a window for displaying the data.

Window, /Free, Title='Volume Rendering with Axes', $
XSize=400, YSize=400
thisDevice = !D.Name
ncolors = !D.N_Colors

; Do rendering in the Z-Buffer.

Set_Plot, 'Z'
Erase
Device, Set_Resolution=[400,400], Set_Colors=ncolors

; Draw the axes with the SURFACE command. Save T3D.

Surface, Dist(30), /NoData, XRange=[0,xmax], YRange=[0,ymax], $
ZRange=[0,zmax], /NoErase, /Save

; Render the volume.

Shade_Volume, data, 25, v, p, /Low
image = PolyShade(v, p, /T3D, XSize=400, YSize=400)

; Take a "snapshot" of the display window.

snapshot = TVRD()
Set_Plot, thisDevice

; Display the snapshop in the display window.

TV, snapshot
