Hello Arvind,

sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but this week has
been a bit busy...

Please find attached "BarGraph.java" which shows you one way
to achieve what you want.

This approach uses volume rendering, which you can test with
visad/examples/Test61.java in your visad release.

Please note that you'll have to rotate the display in order to see
the 3D bars.  Rotate the display so that the utility-axis is pointing up,
and you will see the volume-rendering.

Hope this helps,
Jim.

Hi Jim,
  Thanks for the post..What you suggested would create the maps. But how
would I draw 3D bars for values on the Z-axis. Say I have flow1=20,
flow2=30, utility =0.6. I want to represent utility as a bar of height
0.6.

Thanks a lot,
Arvind
