wanted to let you know that I used the suggestion of a UnionSet of 
Gridded2Dsets (following roughly the river example) and it was just what I 
needed. I also grabbed Leah's math for drawing arrowheads, which saved me 
some time :-)

thanks!

Hi Donna,

With your ScalarMaps of u to Flow1X and v to Flow1Y, try
experimenting with calls to the setScale() method of the
FlowControl. See visad/examples/Test28.java for an example.

You can also draw a bunch of lines between points as a
UnionSet of Gridded2DSets with manifold dimension = 1.
See visad/examples/Rivers.java for an example.

Good luck,
Bill
