Dear Chris,

Your volume() function is just what I wanted, even if it lacks documentation and has plenty of quirks. For others who might be
interested in using function graphics to make publication-quality
volume renderings, my big breakthrough was realizing that I could
learn about the volume object's properties with the useful but
apparently undocumented itpropertyreport procedure.

v = volume( ... )
itpropertyreport, v.gettool(), igetid('volume')

This reports what properties are available and how to set them.
For instance

isetproperty, 'volume', interpolate = 1, _render_quality = 1

I'd never have guessed the leading "_" for setting the render_quality
otherwise.

One quirk is that I couldn't add a colorbar object to a volume in
an obvious way. Instead, I created a window object using the 8.2
window() function and placed the volume and colorbar objects into that.

All the best,

David
