An igloo problem

In this assignment you are going to use OpenDX to visualize (fake) temperature in a volume (an igloo heated by a candle), using isosurfaces and a cutting plane. This would be significantly harder to do in Matlab since the coordinate data is not regular. Here is an image showing all the 6501 points (but no temperatures):

Igloo


Question On the file, igloo_data, there are 6501 rows where each row contains a coordinate triple (x, y, z) and a temperature. Use OpenDX to visualize the data in a good way. Your program should be able to show glyphs, isosurfaces, a cutting plane or a combination of isosurfaces and a cutting plane. The user should be able to choose using radio buttons. One should be able to user interactors to change the number of isosurfaces and the position of the cutting plane. There should be an interactor to change the opacity (the opposite of transparency) as well. There should be a clipping plane as well. This is what the control panel may look like:

Hint: you must use the AutoGrid-module to create a grid.
