Hi Patrick-

I have a rather general question about the use of the "applyToRangeValues(function,data)" Jython method.

What is meant by the function argument? What should it look like? Can anyone give an example? Thanks a lot.

The function argument is the name of the function that you
want to apply to each timestep in the field.  An example
might be:

def changeRange(d):
   return   applyToRangeValues('testApplyToRange2',d);

def testApplyToRange(d,**args):
    r = d.getFloats(0)
    total = 0
    for i in xrange(len(r[0])):
        total= total+r[0][i]
    avg = total/len(r[0])
    for i in xrange(len(r[0])):
        if(r[0][i]<avg):
            r[0][i] = 0;
    d.setSamples(r)
    return d

This avoids having to have the code like:

    if (GridUtil.isTimeSequence(newData)):
        for t in range(newData.getDomainSet().getLength()):
            rangeValue = newData.getSample(t)
            XXX do something
            newData.setSample(t,result,0)
    else:
        rangeValue = newData
        XXX do something

when you might have a time sequence or just a single timestep.
