<li>remove the decimal from colorbar labels when all digits to the right of the decimal are zero
<li>use final simulation time to determine render image label length (when using time)
<li>speed up boundary file loading and unloading
<li>speed up 3D smoke file loading for cases with smoke/fire below cutoffs
<li>when truncating slice values, add an option to drop triangles whose vertex values exceed truncation values
