- Look at the viewimage-application (under the GIS/surface menu)
- You can display xyz datasets and drape a colour image over the elevation
- grid. So f(x,y) and g(x,y) could be coded as height and colour respectively.
- Viewimage even lets you interactively change the viewing parameters.

- This is not supported within khoros 1.0.
