CenterStage Object Class: DataFromSurface Subclass of: Surface Requires a reference to a Surface object The DataFromSurface class provides a means of using the data already computed by another Surface object. One reason to do this is to change the coloring or domain style without having to recompute the data. Another is to make a ShowMe checkbox that can be used to turn the surface on and off without recomputing it (or any other objects linked to it). To do this, make a Surface object that has its OBJECT/SHOW menu set to NEVER, and then create a DataFromSurface object that links to it and has the CheckBox and ShowMe directives. When the DataFromSurface object is first shown, it will force the Surface object to compute the data, and then the DataFromSurface object will be able to use that data whenever it is shown, without recomputing it. The DataFromSurface object has no non-standard directives.
