Re: Animations w/ VisAD

Tom,

You're right!  I guess I didn't realize that you could have another
FunctionType as one of the arguments for the constructor of FunctionType.
Checking the javadoc's, I found that FunctionType takes MathTypes not
RealTypes.  Thanks for the info!  Does anyone know when Ugo's animation
tutorial will be online?
