I assume Patrick wants to do something like: click on a satellite image
and get a read-out of the radiance at that location? I'd like to be able
to do this too, but I haven't really looked into it. I imagine it would
require using a PickManipulationRenderer attached to a Cell which
resamples the data at that point. Then you could do what you want with
that data value.
