Wow!  Once again, learn something new and really useful from this 
newsgroup!

Just how general is this particular functionality? -- that is, how many 
other of Mathematica's graphic capabilities -- plot, listplot, 2D, 3D -- does it 
apply to?

(I'll dig into the documentation myself, but maybe others are already up 
to speed on this without looking it up.)
