thanks a lot for the really quick help. newUnit works just fine. I'm scripting some computations with celsius data and want to display the results in a topography display, therefore the unit change.
Okay. Somewhere on our long TODO list is an item to allow users to display a field as a topography in the main display without having to do what you do now. But that's low on the list at the moment.
One more quick question: I have a FieldImpl containing the data of one variable. How do I get the name of that variable? I've tried rangeType(data.getSample(0)).prettyString(), but that also gives me some additional information about the unit (e.g. 'tho[unit:Celsius]'), which I don't need (I only want to get the 'tho').
You can use ucar.visad.Util.cleanTypeName on the 'tho[unit:Celsius]' string, which will remove the [unit:Celsius]. tho[unit:Celsius] is actually the RealType name that we use.
