Well...the 2-D plots I've made actually correspond (physically) to slices in
a 3-D volume and I'm trying to come up with a way of demonstrating this to
students. It is a little abstract to just say "this is a slice of a 3-D
volume" and I think the point is made much better if you can actually show
that you are physically taking a slice of a 3-D volume. I know that the
actual image slice will look the same either way.

Well, I'll go through with it as long as it is not a complete pain the neck.
