Rohrer) Organization: University of Maryland, Dept. of Computer Sci. Lines: 15 Lately, I have started to study scientific visualization (SciVi). In fact, I attended SIGGRAPH '89 and participated in both SciVI courses. However, there has been one concept that has puzzled me. Exactly, what is an iso-surface? I think I have a pretty good idea but I am hoping that some of you SciVi people can provide a simple, short definition. It seems that most references use this term (iso-surface) frequently but they fail to define it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Randy Rohrer rmr@mimsy.umd.edu
