I would also propose being able to set the drawing style to allow for
filled, wireframe, or points:
FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:
STYLE (enumerator)
  FILLED  draw as filled regions (default) 
  LINES   draw as wireframe outlines
  POINTS  draw as independent points
  INVISIBLE  don't draw at all
e.g.
DrawStyle {
  style FILLED
}
