Thanks Ugo, Bill, By the time the seismic data gets to me it is, without exception, regularly sampled. That is the sampling interval in each dimension is constant (but may be differnt between dimensions). Typically we index the values according to inline, crossline and time. Think of time as equivalent(ish) to depth. So all three of these can be integers. Is there any computational advantage to using an Integer3DSet over a Linear3DSet? Andrew PS: In case you're interested, the origin of the nomenclature inline and cross line comes from how the data is acquired: a boat sail up and down surveying the data. The "inline" direction is the direction in which the boat sailed. -----Original Message----- From: Ugo Taddei [mailto:p6taug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 22 July 2002 15:03 To: Wilson, Andrew, J Subject: Re: Newbie using VisAd for Seismic attribute calculation and visualisation Hi, > As part of this R&TD I need to revive and extend some old > seismic processing algorithms.

There are other "cubes" with different sampling, but the linear 3D set will probably do the trick.
