I am trying to visualize a set of fluid dynamic data representing super-sonic airflow.
The problem that I have is how to generate a 3D representation of the data. The data format is (2D field irregular float). Now if I feed this into FIELD_TO_MESH I just
get a plane representing the data, with color coding representing the data points. 
What I really want is somehow to extrude the data values to represent the "Z" value
of the data. This can be done in a sort of round about way by first converting the
field from irregular to uniform using a module such as IRREG_2_REG by Wes Bethel.
Passing the result through FIELD_TO_MESH then produces a desirable result but means
that the resulting data has been stripped of the all important coordinate grid
information. 

Any help would be great, even if its a totally different way of doing the whole thing.
Overall result similar 3D representation as FIELD_TO_MESH on uniform 2D field but
using irregular data.

Thanks:   Gary Coulter..
