Hi Carlos,

One way to make the box is as a RealTuple with MathType
(x, y, s) and ScalarMaps x -> XAxis, y -> YAxis and
s -> Shape. Create the box as a VisADLineArray that
you pass to the setShapes() method of the ShapeControl
you get from the getControl() method of your ScalarMap
to Shape. See visad/examples/Test47.java for an example.

For the text label, make a RealTuple with MathType
(x, y, t) where t is a TextType, and a ScalarMap
of its t to Text. See visad/examples/Test45.java for
an example.

For this, you may need to turn the box off (call the
setBoxOn(false) method of your DisplayRenderer), and draw
an X axis as a Shape or as a Gridded2DSet with manifold
dimension = 1 (i.e., a line).

Perhaps Don nows the answer to this.

Good luck,
