Hi,

I'm trying to add a "Go" button/icon on the VisAD spreadsheet toolbar such
that when a user clicks this "Go" button, a file such as small.v5d contained
in visad/data will appear in one of the cells. I looked in SpreadSheet.java
and saw that the method addToolbarButton() is the method that creates a
shortcut on the toolbar. However, I'm not quite sure how to link this button
with the file small.v5d and to have that file automatically appear in a cell
by clicking on the "Go" button.

Thanks for your help,
Michelle

Yes, VisAD has a text adapter that can deal with csv files that 
essentially contain data to be made into a single VisAD Data object. 
You must, however, add two lines at the beginning of the file to define 
the math type of the resulting VisAD Data object, and the order of the 
parameters in the file.  The data may be comma, tab, or space-delimited.

All this is described in the readme file at:

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/README.text

(the latest copy of this file can be found in the VisAD source code 
under:  visad/data/text/README.text -- the code was recently updated to 
permit better handling of time formats).
