No sir. Still too ignorant and unskilled to make that happen, but had a number
of breakthroughs yesterday, and hopefully will get some bicubic patch code
cobbled together as a proof-of-concept. Then it ought to be much smoother and
prettier.

I used the raw data, since there was no information indicating that the plate
was flat, and so it looks like it's vibrations in a stressed plate.
I'm going to give some thought to finding vibrational nodes and have the edges
flex freely using those as the true stationary points.
Given time, talent, inspiration, freedom from interruption, plenty of coffee,
and tips and helpful feedback from the helpful folks here in POV-Land.

So, I'm trying to work through in my head what the best way to model this is,
with the amplitudes and the times, and the measurement points, and the
intermediate control points of the patch.
I started to model the plate as an isosurface of interfering cosine waves, which
was humming along as smoothly as I could have hoped, and then my function
started throwing errors.
Once I commented out the additional parameters, it was fine.
Is there some upper limit to how much stuff you can stuff into a function?
