coloring

[Michael Feldman]

I have modified an application that was sent to me by drew at pixar.com
It creates a cube and allows me to divide each surface into small squares
and give them a color.  I need some advice on how to expand upon this and
make it do what i really want.  I need to be able to divide the cube into
smaller cubes and then color these cubes (including interior cubes). 
Here is my tcl script.  The data file refered to is a file of random 0's 
and 1's (of size numCells).  (I know that many of these lines are not
used, but that is because it was from a randomcolor generated image of a
cube). If you have time please send me any help you can. -- Thank you -
Michael
