Why do you need to transform your data in data space? It is trivial to
do it in visualization space using /T3D or IDLgrModel transforms.

If you really need to do it the hard way, without checking the
literature I would suggest converting the indices of your 3d cube into a
3xN array and transform that (using VERT_T3D or IDLgrModel). Then you
would have to associate your intensity values with the transformed index
locations and use them to interpolate values back into your 3d array.

There have to be better ways of doing this though. I would use your
favorite web search tool to find an algorithm for doing this in the 2d
case (i.e. ROT) and go from there.
