Hi,
Due to a caught yet unhandled Exception, my stack traces were a bit
misleading.
The problem is that the NetCDF stuff seems to create a RealType with the
name "Temperature" although I have no Temperature field in my file.
My class which defines a static Domain4D RealTupleType also defines a
static Temperature RealType also called "Temperature" which is
apparently constructed when Domain4D is referenced by the LinearNDSet
constructor, thus a "visad.TypeException: ScalarType: name already
used".
I suppose a solution to this would be an agreed upon set of static
RealTypes and RealTupleTypes (like Longitude...) for things like
Temperature. Oh, God, not another convention! :-) Any other ideas for
avoiding the "name already used" problem?
