Rich, Good point.
Yes, yes. I was just thinking the same thought this morning myself. It's nice that the Sage community has caught on to how useful Jmol is for general surface display. If the Jmol community, though, feels that displaying data in graphical form is outside the bounds of the project, they should speak up, and a new SourceForge project could be started that starts with what we have in Jmol but pulls out all the molecular business and focuses on the mathematical. So far all the additions that have helped Sage have also been a benefit for general molecular surface drawing -- the ability to draw contours, better mesh drawing, consolidation in code of pmesh and isosurface. These are all modifications that have helped all. But I agree, the business with axes and tics and such is pretty far afield of the core Jmol mission.
