<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
Creates surfaces from scalar fields.

<para>
Originally written by Luc Billard for his program VISUALISE. It
has been since transformed to a single function and integrated in V_Sim.
.pot file are text files which specification are the following :
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>1st line: full pathname of the potential file to read</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>2nd line: full pathname of the surface file to build</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>3rd line: an integer giving the nbr n of isosurfaces to build
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Each of the n following lines must match the pattern
[value name] where value is a real number for the isovalue and name is
the name given for the corresponding isosurface to build.
Each surface should be named surface_*.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
The function will fail if it finds no isosurface corresponding to some
of the given isovalues.
The <link linkend="v-sim-panelSurfacesTools">panelSurfacesTools</link>
contains a frontend to build valid .instruc files. This panel is
originally integrated in V_Sim. You can access it through the
Convert tab in the Isosurfaces panel.
