Hi John,
I just tried a quick experiment with a 3-D vector display
and it worked OK. To see the Z component of your vectors,
you need to rotate the display to look at the vector plane
from the side. The only thing I can think of, if you don't
see any Z components, is that the wvals in your program
are all 0.0.
Good luck,
Bill
