Hi Jim,

I'm afraid there is not yet any systematic documentation
for these classes. They are mostly made-to-order components
that go into applications being built by the Australian
Bureau of Meteorology (although not all BOM-specified code
goes into visad.bom, some like better fonts is in the base
visad package). They are mostly about user interaction with
data via displays (which is why I like working with the BOM).

One way to understand them is via the main() methods that
in included in most of the classes in visad.bom. The main()
methods serve as examples of how to use the clases, and also
a way to demonstrate what they do by running them (afraid
you may need to look in the main() methods to see what the
command line arguments are).

Cheers,
Bill
