You might try using method 2.  You'll need to specify a maximum gradient;
the larger it is the longer it'll take to parse, but if it's too small 
you'll see effects like what you have there.  Method 1 can also miss
rapid changes in the field value and give you the kind of error you see
in this image.

Also, maybe that should be 21*x^5*y^2 instead of 21*x^5*y*2.

I checked the formulas 5 times, it can't possibly be that... no, wait... it
is! Doh!!! Thanks a million! =)

I'll post the correct image later.

Does 21*x^5*y^2 = 21*x^5*(y*2) ?

(y*2) if (3*2) equals 6, whereas y^2 if 3^2 equals 9. So no, does not...

When I lived in East London, there was a shop there that sold square
pizzas. The best pizza you ever tasted. 

PIZZA PIZZA Barking Road E13 < Check it out if you're in the area.
