Thanks very much! I was looking for the first way, but your second suggestion is
too elegant not to use it (I can't help, it somehow reminds me of Python)! It's
already implemented and works like a charm.

Bald Eagle: Thanks too! It's actually not the original tea pot, just similar in
general shape. And yes, data already comes in mesh2-format, I just did not know
that there is such an easy way to fill it into the mesh2.

And of course thanks for all the "side-ideas" - if they don't solve the problem,
they usually are an inspiration for further work :)
