You can arrange this. For the lines, create a Set(x, y) with
manifild dimension = 1 (e.g., a UnionSet of Gridded2DSets with
manifold dimension = 1), and with the mappings x -> XAxis and
y -> YAxis. For the points, create a FlatField with type
(index -> (x, y)).

Actually, the multiple scales in GoesCollaboration come
because multiple RealTypes (temp, mixr, ozone & pressure)
are mapped to Display.XAxis in display2. This will work
with any DisplayImpl (J3D or J2D).

We have tried to get Java2D and Java3D displays to scale similarly,
but sometimes AWT and Swing do things that frankly we do not always
understand. The best I can suggest is fiddle with the setAspect()
of all the displays until they look the way you like.
