# new feature: draw intersection $isosurfaceID PLANE|HKL [plane definition]
#   for example:
#   isosurface s1 sasurface
#   draw diameter 0.1 intersection $s1 PLANE x=13 color red

# new feature: isosurface color mesh <color name> <surface definition>
#    colors mesh a specific color independent of isosurface color or color
mapping.

# bug fix: rear mesh lines not visible on isosurface when surface also drawn
