Standard Library procedure that displays a two-dimensional array as acombination contour, surface, and image plot. The resulting display shows a surface with an image underneath and a contour overhead.

TIP: When you are displaying larger images (say 50-by-50), the display produced by SHOW3 can become too "busy." If this happens, try using the SMOOTH and/or REBIN procedures to smooth the surface plot.
CAUTION: The SHOW3 procedure is not supported on Tektronix terminals or the 4510 Rasterizer. If you try to display a SHOW3 image on such a device, PV-WAVE may abort. This is because of a limitation in the range of image coordinates available on Tektronix devices.
