[IDV #ANE-778273]: the global vertical cross section

Hi Stu-

> Full Name: Stuart Wier
> Email Address: address@hidden
> Organization: UNAVCO
> Package Version: 2.5
> Operating System: open suse 10.1
> Hardware: x86
> Description of problem: A user sent in the following question, highlighting 
> the need for vertical cross sections in the globe display.  This is a 
> valuable display type for solid earth geophysics in many areas, including 
> seismic tomography,  mantle convection, and in principle, composition models.

We will be doing some work on improving the globe display in the
2.7 release.  I'll put this on the list.
