Hi Bob,

Try this:

    // use an Integer3DSet since your samples lie on an integer
    // lattice - you would use Gridded3DSet for a curvy lattice
    // this will be a 3 x 3 x 3 set (i.e., 27 samples, as your
    // for-loop indicates)
    Integer3DSet integerSet = new Integer3DSet(headLocation3D, 3, 3, 3);

    // this is correct
    /* Trying to set up a function like:
     * Real: ((x,y,z) -> density)
     */
    FunctionType grid_tuple = new FunctionType(headLocation3D, density);

    // your data should be a FlatField rather than a Set
    FlatField field = new FlatField(grid_typle, integerSet);
    field.setSamples(data); // set dependent "density" values

    ... // construct ScalatMaps and addMap() to display
    ... // all correct as far as I could see

    // one small change here in setData()
    DataReferenceImpl ref_grid3D = new DataReferenceImpl("ref_grid3D");
    ref_grid3D.setData(field); // refer to the FlatField rather than the
Set
    display.addReference(ref_grid3D, null);

Your code was nearly correct - just a couple small changes
required.

Cheers,
Bill
