Hi John,

This message indicates that more than one RealType is mapped
to Display.YAxis, and that the display logic is trying to
apply both at once (e.g., data has MathType (a -> (b, c))
and both b and c or both a and b are mapped to YAxis).  If
multiple RealTypes are mapped to YAxis, they cannot be in
path from root to leaf in the MathType tree (the exact
defintion is a bit complex, but this is the intuition).

It is unlikely (but not impossible) that this is caused by the
ScalarMap.setScaleEnable(true) call.

Cheers,
Bill
