Thanks for the idea, but I'm trying to avoid clipping or cutting the 
geometry.  What I'd like is to have smooth gradations of transparency.  
I also don't want an additional data processing step in the pipeline.  
For many years I've used this in standalone vtk-python scripts, etc. 
because it is possible, but the colormap editor gui seems crippled; I've 
even written my own colormap guis like that before.  I'm trying to get 
my users to gravitate towards Paraview as a uniform tool instead of 
various custom scripts.
