"my team" is currently *me* :-) I don't really see this as an extension. It's just using VisAD. Given that the particular needs of any user are going to vary, and that getting the data from SQL to VisAD is just a trivial data transfer step. It's not really analogous to a new data format reader, in which you have some good idea of how the data ought to be realized as geometry; when you're dealing with SQL the transformation from a table of numbers to a geometrical representation is going to be very application-specific, thus not really ammenable to generalization and adding to core visad.

That sounds exactly like what I was asking about. This would be an extension that's been added by your team? Would it be ok to make it available to others? It sounds like it could be potentially very useful to others using the VisAD infrastructure as well. Hope I'm not way off the mark here, as VisAD unfamiliar territory to me so far. :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift Donna L Gresh wrote: > > I am using VisAD together with SQL queries to a database.
