Well, I finally got my hands on release 3.0. I've modified Plot3D so it uses  
Renderman for its 3d output, and improved a whole bunch of other things. You  
can ftp the new version from sonata.cc.purdue.edu or ion.rice.edu. Please send  
suggestions/bug reports to steve@ion.rice.edu.

Changes since 1.1:

Uses Renderman instead of my 3d routines (this may actually be a bit slower in  
wireframe mode).
Standard 3.0 help interface.
Viewing angles redefined to be more "standard".
Color works, but only in "shaded" mode (I think).
Hidden surface removal (thanks to renderman).
Since renderman does solid modeling, symbols have been replaced with 3d  
objects.
Fixed scaling bug for small grid sizes.
Density plot now displays data files much better.
Printing of density plots improved.

Kudos to Steve Ludtke on Plot3D using Renderman.  It looks great with
interactive renderman.

But I can't seem to print because there is "No Photorealistic Renderer"
running.  There doesn't seem to be anything in the online docs about
installing it.  I do have /usr/prman installed.  Anyone run into this?
