Are you talking about the medit mesh format? The vertices in the mesh file are
not numbered at all, so the id is indeed given by their order. When a mesh is
displayed in medit, it labels the vertices starting from 1. In Python, the
indices start from 0.

Are you talking about post-processing / displaying the results? The postproc.py
script cannot do that, but you can open the mayavi pipeline after the scene is
displayed, and add/edit the visualization modules and filters there as you wish.

This can be done in mayavi or paraview using the appropriate filters (cutting
plane etc).
