Well, that works in point mode, but not in whatever "default" mode I am
in. (See sample code below.) Is there some other GraphicsModeControl
method I could take advantage of? I did find another kludgy solution:
map val to Display.ZAxisOffset and set the range from 0 to some
sufficiently large value (>> val).

I'm actually hoping to be able to switch between point/surface/contour
modes via the GUI. I suppose having the same data represented in
different ways and swapping out references will do.
Thanks,
