Re: ContourFill problems

Hi,

I am using the latest visad.jar file
(ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad/visad.jar) and I have seen this
problem ever since the ContourFill option was added.

My first step was to see if anyone else has seen this behavior. Next,
I'll try to test my stuff on Windows. I've seen problems with data
losing color with some graphics configurations (e.g. certain graphics
cards on Linux). Is there any reason for filled contours to behave
differently than images? i.e. is a different java3d api being used to
render filled contours? 

Thanks,
Doug
