Hi Bill et al, This must be something that occurs often but I can't find the answer in the FAQ, examples or tutorials. I want to visualise data from a coastal ocean model. For starters I am looking at the depth map. So I have depth as a function of (latitude,longitude). First I tried a Linear2DSet with the depth ScalarMap set as Display.RGB. This worked fine giving (with the right ColorTable) a grading of colour from blue in the deep water through green to red in the shallow. However the land (represented in the data as zero depth) just appears red i.e. with no distinction from the shallow coastal water. I would like the land to be something distinct, like black. I also tried setting the depths over the land to a large negative value but this just biassed the autoscaling of the colour map so I got a land/sea mask with no detail in the sea part. Next I tried Gridded2DSet and Irregular2DSet, by compressing the depth data to remove land points and passing in a latlong[2][nactive] array of latitudes and longitudes for the active (sea) points. This gave some black areas where the land should be BUT there appears to be some interpolation going on so that land areas between to sea areas get filled in with some mess^H^H^H^H, sorry, interpolated data points. I also noticed this went very slowly, maybe due to this interpolation. What is the best way of doing this ? Can I turn off the interpolation for the Gridded2DSet/Irregular2DSet ? Can I apply a land/sea mask to the Linear2DSet ? Is the vistutor.jar file OK ? (I have an old copy but I got an error when I tried to unpack the latest version) And why is there no sound file for the guy playing the bagpipes ? Cheers and TIA, Mike. -- ____________________________________________ Dr. Mike Ashworth Head of Advanced Research Computing Group Computational Science & Engineering Dept.
