Hi Sven,

Gridded2DSets allow arbitrary goemetry (with 2-D checkerboard
topology), so your problems are probably just errors in the
details of how you are constructing your Gridded2DSets.

You might be able to fix this by adding a ScalarMap of a
RealType to Shape and setting a VisADQuadArray in the
ShapeControl, properly centered.

Good luck,
Bill
