Description

  
   This  module draws variable size coloured cubes from scatter input
   showing scalar data at the specified positions.
   It can be used in place of "scatter dots".
   The Scale dial is simply a size multiplier.
   The size of each cube is taken by the first vector if "Variable",

Otherw

ise it is set to "Scale" size in "Uniform" mode.
   The colour of each cube is independently controled from the remaining
   three vector quantities.
   If the input vector length is 1 (scalar), the colour will default to
   white.
  

Example network

( see scatter_cubes.net )
A data file is included to test the module.
A small data set and AVS field is in the directory,
for testing, using the above network.
