The problem is that using the Standard Atmosphere to convert from pressure to 
altitude, the first two levels end up being NaN.  That's throwing the graph 
off.  I'm working on a solution, but a workaround is to use the Vis5D pres->alt 
calculation instead of the Standard Atmosphere.  From the Preferences, set the 
Pressure to Height item to Logarithmic under the Formats & Data tab.

Alternatively, skip the first 2 levels in the data subset panel under the 
levels tab.

Someday, we'll have to keep the data in the default units of pressure.
