Hi Michelle, Since your goal seems to be to pre-specify the data set and the ScalarMaps in the SpreadSheet, I suggest that the SpreadSheet is not the right approach. The SpreadSheet is designed as a GUI to give users interactive control over as much of the VisAD API as possible. In order to do this, the SpreadSheet is very complex, especially for a beginner like yourself. It will be much easier for you to do these things by just writing an ordinary VisAD application that uses the API directly. I suggest starting with the main() method in the visad/data/vis5d/Vis5DForm.java class. In fact, you can visualize the "small.v5d" data set using: java visad.data.vis5d.Vis5DForm small.v5d (To use this, please download a fresh copy of visad_src-2.0.jar or visad.jar from ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/untested/, as I just fixed a bug this morning). I also strongly recommend that you take the time to work through Ugo's excellent VisAD tutorial. This will give you a real feel for the VisAD API. Good luck, Bill
