Thanks Curtis

.
   contMap = new ScalarMap( field, Display.IsoContour );
   colMap = new ScalarMap( longitude, Display.XAxis );
   rowMap = new ScalarMap( latitude,    Display.YAxis );
   pixMap = new ScalarMap( field,  Display.RGB );
   DisplayImplJ2D display = new DisplayImplJ2D(" ", 700, 500);

   dispGMC.setScaleEnable(true);

   // Add maps to display
   display.addMap( colMap );
   display.addMap( rowMap );
   display.addMap( pixMap );
   display.addMap( contMap );
  // Create a data reference and set the FlatField as our data
   DataReferenceImpl data_ref = new DataReferenceImpl("data_ref");
   data_ref.setData( mapField );
   // Add reference to display

Thanks again for your help

Hi Nihat,

There are restrictions on calling DisplayImpl.getImage from the AWT event thread, because doing so generally results in thread deadlock. Instead, try calling getImage from a completely separate thread. E.g.:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
   new Thread() {
       public void run() {
           com.app.lt.CreateImage imagePr = new com.app.lt.CreateImage();
           try {
               BufferedImage myImage =imagePr.plotImage();
           } catch (RemoteException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
           } catch (VisADException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
   }.start();
   ...
}

Also, I'm not certain what com.app.lt.CreateImage.plotImage does, but from its name, it sounds like it builds or updates a display with DataReferenceImpl.setData and such -- is there a reason such a method would need to call getImage? If you can avoid the getImage call, you can continue using the AWT event thread, if you wish.

Hi

I am pretty new to visad and currently exploring its usage for my applications. So far I was able to write some simple applications.

I have run into a problem when I tried to call a visad application through and applet's "submit" button on a web site as in the following format:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { Util.invoke(false,false, new Runnable() {

           public void run() {

com.app.lt.CreateImage imagePr = new com.app.lt.CreateImage();

               try {
                   BufferedImage myImage =imagePr.plotImage();
               } catch (RemoteException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
               } catch (VisADException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
               }
           }
       });
.
.

the exception I get is;

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" visad.VisADError: cannot call getImage() from Thread: AWT-EventQueue-1

       at visad.DisplayImpl.getImage(DisplayImpl.java:2630)
       at visad.DisplayImpl.getImage(DisplayImpl.java:2614)
       at com.app.lt.CreateImage.plotImage(CreateImage.java:94)

where line 94 has the following code;
return display.getImage();

and display object is;
DisplayImplJ2D display = new DisplayImplJ2D(" ", 700, 500);

I looked through old e.mails and it seems like this works for everybody else. It works fine if I run the application by itself. Like I said I am a new user and there maybe much easier way to do this but I just don't know yet. any help is greatly appreciated... thanks in advance..
