Summary: Electrostatic potential as “fog”

Initial Comment:
One interesting request was made recently – rather than mapping functions such as electrostatic charge to a surface, to graph the f(xyz) data as a volumetric, colored “fog.”

This might even be as easy as interpolating every few pixels and drawing a colored dot.

Games also have various types of fog effects, so this should be possible with OpenGL and may be easier than a surface (i.e., not requiring an external library).
