I have a really naive question:

Is it possible for OpenDX to read in 3D cylindrical polar data (r-, theta-
and z-) and plot surfaces of a constant function value?

Certain other softwares can read in r- theta- data and convert it into an
x- y- grid for plotting, but they perform very poorly at the origin.

Please note that the simple transform x = r * cosine(theta) and y = r *
sine(theta) will give you N*N number of unevenly spaced points in both X
and Y (for N r- and theta- points). It is then the challenge to
interpolate the function to an evenly space cartesian grid for plotting
iso-surfaces.

Thanks in advance,
