... and again this Object: "isosurface"
I've read a lot of this here in group, but I never heard something of this
before ...
Is it an extension of POV or have I to read for it in the standard POV-Docu?
Is it provided by any graphical frontend? I only seldom use Handcoding
...(yes, I use Moray)

But: What is an "isosurface" ? ...

PS: Don't answer if it is an RTFM-question ...
