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.)
