Anybody have any ideas on how I could make a contour map of a height
field?  I tried trace() and dropping a sphere at a point if it had a
specific Y value, drop enough spheres and test for different heights and
you statrt to get something which is OK, but it take half-past forever.
Any other ideas? maybe a sphere sweep of some kind ??
