Hi..


Anyone knew whether there is a way in VisAD
to apply an overlay to VisAD displays without using Mapadapter or
shapefile adapter..

************************************

Do you mean to say, you want to create draw some boundary.
If you have an ASCII file,
you can just read that to create a visad.Gridded2DSet or visad.UnionSet with appropriate domainType.
Create a datareference. Add the Gridded2DSet/Union to datareference.
Add ScalarMaps that Map the MathType of Gridded2DSet/UnionSet to DisplayRealTypes.
And that is done.
For example,
you can create a domainType of Gridded2DSet like this:

RealType elementType = RealType.getType("elementType");
RealType lineType = RealType.getType("lineType");
RealTupleType domainType = new RealTupleType(elementType, lineType);
float samples[][] = readSamples(); //you will have to write readSamples function yourself Gridded2DSet g2DSet = new Gridded2DSet(domainType, samples, samples[0].length);
//create ScalarMaps
ScalarMap xMap = new ScalarMap(elementType, Display.XAxis);
ScalarMap yMap = new ScalarMap(elementType, Display.YAxis);
//create Display
DisplayImplJ3D display = new DisplayImplJ3D("sample display");
//Add scalarmaps
display.addMap(xMap);
display.addMap(yMap);
//create datareference
DataReferenceImpl datareference = new DataReferenceImpl("overlayref");
//set data in datareference
datareference.setData(g2DSet);
//add datareference to display
display.addReference(datareference);


Gridded2DSet is used if there is a single line segment in the data.
If you have multiple line segments in your data (as generally happens in boundary data), you have to use UnionSet like this. Suppose you want to create 'n' line segments.
Gridded2DSet sets = new Gridded2DSets[10];
//initialize each set with the corresponding data as above (we created only one line segment above)
|*UnionSet uset = new UnionSet*(domainType,sets);|

And then set uset in datareference.

I hope thats helps.
