Iso-surfaces

An iso-surface displays a constant value of the contour variable as a surface on your plot. Iso-surfaces require that the data set contains volume zones (IJK-ordered, brick, tetrahedral, or polyhedral zones). You can modify iso-surfaces in the Iso-Surface Details dialog, which you can access by selecting the isosurface_details00225.png button next to the Iso-surfaces toggle in the Plot sidebar. Or you can open the Iso-Surface Details dialog by selecting "Iso-Surfaces" from the Plot menu. Finally, you may right-click an iso-surface in your plot and use the context menu and toolbar to make quick changes to its settings.

This toolbar allows you to turn on or off the grid, contour, shade, and translucency layers for the selected iso-surface(s). Additionally, you may adjust frequently-used style settings for each layer using the drop-down menu to the right of each, for example selecting a color for the grid (or choosing a variable by which to color it).
