For completeness, you may want to add one more of the public variable.

<LabeledToggle variable="BoundingTriangulation" 
trace_name="BoundingTriangulation" help="controls whether bounding 
triangulation points (and associated triangles) are included in the 
output" default_value="0"/>

Note also that your data ranges should include 2 values as in 
data_range="0.0 10.0"
