Okay, I gather this is an area where few have interest or where no one
has insight.  I'm not opposed to working on it myself, but I'm open to a
bit of guidance.  I did find http://jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Source,
http://jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Layout, and even
http://jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Extensibility, but none of those seem to
address my challenge closely.

I also found ~/j602/system/classes/plot/jzplot.ijs, which I suspect
holds the key.  It's 6800 lines long, though, and I see _no_ comments.
:-)  Any tips on getting into that efficiently?

I see plot3d_surface, which seems to suggest that draw2d is important.
That leads me to setp, which seems simply to add arguments to a list
(Plot).

... which all leads me back to plot3d_surface and to understanding the
arguments passed to drawpoly.  If I could add to that call to drawpoly
or call it more than once, ....

Any thoughts?  Any more documentation on jzplot.ijs?  

Thanks,

Bill
