I have an interesting problem and would like to know if I solve it using explorer. I have a groundwater model I use to generate contaminate plumes and vector fields which I view with iso-surfaces, etc. What I would like to do is "paste" an image of the site on the surface of the boundbox. I haven't even tried to do this yet, has anyone tried this? or is it even possible with the existing explorer modules? Lacking the ability to paste on picture on my boundbox, is it possible to paste a Autocad DXF file on one of the boundaries? Again I haven't tried this yet. I do have a MOVIESTAR.BYU which has a translator from DXF to MOVIE.BYU format which I suppose I could read in with the ReadBYU module. Would this work? How would I get it on the face of the box. The coordinate systems for the model and the site plan do not match. (I know I could write a program that would translate one to the other :-( but prefer the easy way if possible ) Is there a way to interactively line one set of data up with the other? Back to the picture question. If I can get the picture pasted on one side of the bounding box, is there a way to make it semi-transparent? Thanks for any help.
