Hello,

I'm a newcomer to khoros and I find the variety of options daunting.
I have a data presentation problem that is similar to the 4-d data
problem that this thread involves.

For a nonuniform set of of x and y (two independent variables) I have
two functions f(x,y) and g(x,y).  For my problem f(x,y) takes the role
of a parameter estimate and g(x,y) is the quality of the estimate
(the reciprocal of the variance) as a function of x and y.

I'm thinking that I could represent f(x,y) and g(x,y) as a sphere
where the height of the sphere above the surface is f(x,y) and the
g(x,y) is represented by either the diameter of the sphere or a
"brightness" of the sphere.

Visually, the plot will be dominated by high quality data, but the
estimate f(x,y) would be available at all points regardless of quality.

Hopefully, I've been clear to this point.
I'd like hear from  people who
	a) know of a way to do this in khoros.
	b) know of other fields/applications where this type of data
	is routinely presented (I'll probably cross-post to sci.geology)
	

thanks,

Ira
