Re: [visad] Strange rendering depending on axis range

Dear Ghansham,

Thank you for your response. The reason why I turned off the texture mapping is 
because when we visualize real mass spectrometry data in MZmine, the texture 
mapping does not work. I am not sure if this is due to the nature of the data 
or if it also some sort of bug.

Please check the attached screenshots from MZmine displaying a 1000x1000 
resolution mass spectrometry data set. One screenshot is with texture mapping 
off, the other one with texture mapping on (but shows almost nothing).

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello Tomas,

Its really nice to hear that you are trying to use VisAD in new domains.
Well I just wanted to know if the VisadTest.java file why you are
disabling texture in
the GraphicsModeControl by doing this:
graphicsModeControl.setTextureEnable(false);
Is there any special motive/reason behind that?

I tried to display it as texture for the stated xMin, xMax values shown
in the snapshots that are sent with the mail.
The result is coming same as expected. You can just try at you end by doing:
graphicsModeControl.setTextureEnable(true);
Actually under the hood, if you disable texture, it uses geometry to
render the data.
But if you enable the texture it use Texture to display the data.


regards
Ghansham
