took three magic hours.<br />
<br />
I had to go from a simple list of three items (a,b,c) to go to an (n by n) block in excel which could then be plotted as a bunch of 3d shapes/<br />
<br />
Well, at least I <em>know what</em> to do, so it will be easier for the next couple of charts :-)<br />

Now just need to describe it better. Simon and Ben feel I need to break down the accesses to annotated into before aand after patterns. So, that is the next peice of numerical analysis.<br />
