So there's no way to do this with just the Scalar itself, you need to
have it's associated ScalarMap?  (The javadocs for the DataShadow Object
returned by computeRanges() don't tell me much...)

What I'm looking to do here is to be able to display the range of values
of all Data in a Cell to the user, regardless of what values are being
displayed, or how.
