Hi Jim,

You can make it work OK by inserting:

  display.reAutoScale();

before:

  dataRef.setData(createField());

I will have to look into whether this should be necessary,
but am travelling right now and will have to look into it
later. The reAutoScale() sets a correct setRange() for the
ScalarMap to RGBA, which does not get set for the UnionSet.

Cheers,
Bill
