Re: ShadowFunctionOrSetType

Michelle:


Tom, I was actually wondering if it was possible to extract the range
value for the "index" input field. 

What do you mean?  In your example, the MathType is:
(index) -> (torque,RI_X,RI_Z,DRY_Mass,Prop_mass,RW_Index,RW_Choice,Pay_power,Pay 
_Mass,MinFreqMode,Miss_Life,Slew_Angle,Delta_V,Slew_Time,Mass,sheet_thick,Cost)
that tells me that 'index' is the domain of your "function" and the tuple 'torque, RI_X, ..., Cost' is the range. So to say "extract the range value for 'index' means to me that you want to get the values of 'torque, RI_X, ..., Cost' for some value of 'index'. In my example, you would simply refer to "a[0]" and that gives you the tuple of 'torque...' for index=0. 



ie. I'm trying to see if the input
"index" is mapped to the Visad parameter "iso-contour".
I'm not sure what this has to do with the "range value" you asked about in the previous sentence? 



 I don't think I
can just access the value of the first spot in an array of the types
since index seems to occur in different places in the domain (and is
In your MathType, you only have _one_ domain component: index. Everything else is a "range component". 


listed in a different order on the left column of the mapping dialog
box) for each csv file I've tried. Do you know if there is a way to see
what value "index" was mapped to?
I'm going to assume you're only interested in discovering the Scalar-to-Display mappings you've done, and are really only interested in finding out what, if anything, the RealType called "index" has been mapped to a DisplayScalar. 

You can use:

display.getMapVector()
which will return a Vector of the mappings. You can then look at each element's getDisplayScalar() and see if that is iso-contour (I use the toString() method for that...), and getScalar() to see if it is 'index' or whatever. 

Sorry for my confusion...

But


I'm wondering how to specify the Data object,
"d:\\visad\\data\\tes5.csv", before calling getType() on it. I don't
know of a Data constructor that can take in a string.



You have to have a Data object before calling getType(). You can
either construct the Data object, or read it from a file.



Also, when I get
the FunctionType and call getDomain() on the FunctionType, it returns


a


RealTupleType and I think TupleType.TupleComponents.length would then
give me the number of input fields. Would that be one way to extract


the


number of input fields?



Yes.



        // get the MathType of a Data object named 'vis5d'
 FunctionType vis5d_type = (FunctionType) vis5d.getType();

 // extract time, the domain of the FunctionType
 RealType time = (RealType) vis5d_type.getDomain().getComponent(0);

Also, if the exception was thrown because index was in the domain of


the


function and it was mapped to iso-contour, are there other fields in


the


Visad range that would produce the same error when index is mapped to
it? What about other input fields in the domain besides index?



I think you'd get the same Exception with Flow, Text, Shape and
ShapeScale.

Good luck,
Bill
