Hello Mike, Paraview is an immensly powerful tool (based on vtk) that allows visualizing huge datasets. The data can be located on a remote computer running the Paraview server, to which you would connect with the corresponding PV client. It is also Python scriptable, which is what I want to exploit from within SAGE. You get lots of control over the rendering details ect. - at the expense that it is more involved than, say, the plot3d command. A description of how the scripting works can be found at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/f/f9/Servermanager2.pdf I will give Jaap's hint a try and let you know how it went. But it's midnight now and tomorrow I'm off to ski :-) So that will have to wait till thursday. Many thanks,
