Bob,
I think Peter is thinking about the things we discussed for making
Jmol into a general nD function plotter/slicer. I haven't had much
time to think about it, but I believe we left off discussing the issue
of rotations in >3D. The simplest implementation is just to only
display a surface defined by a triplet of values (x & y as coordinates
and z as the potential/total energy, while choosing a fixed value for
each of the left over coordinates). Depending on how the coordinate
grid is specified this might require some interpolation.
Peter, is this what you are thinking of?
