Someday I'm going to make it to Stuart's and be able to see what visual
tools NCL provides with their package. 

Brent was working on a visual tool and what he shared worked. I think
the trick would be to extend that to give a bit more help in writing the
code to actually machine the part. That is .. use the computer to do the
part we as humans don't do well but use the machine to visualize/verify.

Brent's comments on the code again give hope that the NASA code will be
even better. :-)
