Hi Olver,

The short answer is no, not without writing a custom DataRenderer.

However, you could add one DataReference for each LineWidth, using
a ScalarMap to RGB for adjusting line color.  You'd add new lines
by adding elements to a FlatField of type ((x, y, z) -> color),
with a domain set of a UnionSet of Gridded2DSets.  One example of
this can be seen in visad.bio.MeasurePool (see the doLines method).

So, the number of DataReferences becomes a function of the number
of unique line widths, which shouldn't be too slow.
