This is probably a beginners question, but i can't seem to find it in TFM.
I have a set of points which represent a bicubic surface.  My problem is
that explorer seems to want a rectangular grid of points, but my surface
doesn't have the same number of control points in each row.  It looks
something like this

       x  x  x  x
    x  x  x  x  x  x
 x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x
 x  x  x  x  x  x  x  x
 x  x  x  x  x  x  x
    x  x  x  x  x
       x  x  x  x

Is there a way to make datascribe read this and display/contour it in
explorer.  Can i create dummy points for the extras, and then have eplorer
ignore them when contouring?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Glen
