Thanks Tom
I am able to get the array of points.
I see that function "getLatLons() requires a GridDataset.
Based on the simple code below I have a FieldImpl object.
How can I get a gridset in order to send as parameter to getLanLons
function?

import visad.python.JPythonMethods as JPythonMethods

filename = 'd:/mymodel.nc'
file_opener = 'file.grid'
variable = 'sst'
ds = makeDataSource(filename, file_opener)
temperatures = getData(ds.getName(), variable)

#Obtain points for the required temperature range 0' - 2.99 Celsius
list=findWithinRange(temperatures,0,2.99)

latlonlist=getLatLons(Gridset?,list)

........more code .....

Regards
Jose
