public static RealType getRealType()
                            throws VisADException

Obtains the RealType associated with this class.

Returns:

The RealType associated with this class.

Throws:

VisADException - Couldn't perform necessary VisAD operation.

getRealTupleType

public static RealTupleType getRealTupleType()
                                      throws VisADException

Obtains the RealTupleType associated with this class.

Returns:

The RealTupleType associated with this class.

createFromDensity

public static Data createFromDensity(Data density)
                              throws TypeException,
                                     VisADException,
                                     RemoteException

Creates an MassicVolume data object from a density data object.

Parameters:

density - A Density data object.

Returns:

The MassicVolume data object computed from the density. The type of the object will be that of the arguments after standard promotion.

Throws:

TypeException - At least one argument has wrong type.

VisADException - Couldn't create necessary VisAD object.

RemoteException - Java RMI failure.
