I think you are trying to display a 3D surface. The IDL Surface
command is designed to display a 2D surface in a 3D representation
(I.e, a 2.5D surface). You might have more luck in direct graphics
if you represented your 3D surface as a volume and tried to display
an isosurface of that. (If that is what you want, it is not clear
to me.)

Yeah, well, there is that. :^)
