I have a question about isosurfaces in MegaPov 0.4.  I read two
tutorials on them, and in both, when a function such as x^2-y is used,
the tutorial shows a picture where all of the bounding box below the
graph of the equation is filled, kind of like the graph of y<x^2.
However, when I tried the same function, only a two-dimensional surface
similar to the graph of y=x^2 is shown.  What is going on?  Here is the
code for my isosurface:

isosurface {
 function { x^2-y }
 contained_by{ box { -2,2 } }
 threshold 0
 sign 1
 accuracy 0.001
 pigment {rgb .9}
 finish {phong 0.5 phong_size 10}
}

I just tried the same isosurface in MegaPov 0.5, and had the same result
