Hi Donna,

My guess is that you're using a DisplayImplJ2D (i.e., Java2D)
for the Irregular2DSet. Java2D is not so good at interpolating
colors, so the triangles are rendered as solid colors. The way
to get a smooth appearence is to use:

  new DisplayImplJ3D("display", new TwoDDisplayRendererJ3D())

instead of:

  new DisplayImplJ2D("display")

Good luck,
Bill
