Hi Norman,

Yes, it was quarter plane. It just that from the picture I do not see
a quarter plane, it is more like a half plane.

Norman must have that code/script, but I haven’t seen it.  This would be good to put into the SVN someplace (sandbox even) so it can be improved.

I am not sure why the field is cut off on the downstream side, but still well past z=0, in this image but I'm pretty sure that's a problem with the visualization based on the map data I saw that goes into this.
