[Paraview] 3D contour maps

[Cory Quammen]

Patty,

ParaView can very easily create isosurfaces from 3D data. It sounds
like you need to convert your data into a single 3D .vtk file. Once
you have done that and load it in, the contour filter will produce
isosurfaces through the 3D data.

If you want details on how to convert your files into a single 3D
format, it would be helpful if you would specify what kind of data you
have (image data, structured grid, etc.)

Hope that helps,
Cory
