Your description is not very clear to me. If you described *exactly* the plotting method that you thought about, we could help you implement it in Mathematica. This is one way for examining 3D scalar functions: Manipulate[ ContourPlot3D[ x^2 + y^2 - z^2 == c, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}], {{c, 1}, 0, 3}] (You might want to experiment with the option ContourStyle -> Opacity[.5] too.) Also, search for "volume visualization" or "volume rendering" on Google. -- Szabolcs
