HI.
I tried to rotate the 3D image instead of enclosing it in a cube and
rotating the cube. I manage to rotate only the 2D surface. The steps i
followed are:
1. Opened a file with Matrix - ixjxk
2. Displayed the 3D image with the Shade_volume and Scale3 function.
3. This 3D image obtained after step 2 (i.e. display purpose image)
is used as an image for the trackball operation.
4. i used my mouse to move over that image and as a result i see the
2D displayed version rotating. i.e, it is a flat rotation not a 3D
rotation where i can see the other side of the image.
Can anybody tell me where i am wrong. I am not able to figure out
where i am wrong. Please help me ASAP.

Cheers,
Pushya
