Paul-
There is no easy way/method. Even using Gridded3DSet is not simple
because you would need to pass the grid domain through all the logic in
the VisAD methods that compute an appropriate Gridded3DSet for the
computation.

Hi Tom/Don,
I had in mind to obtain the heights of the wet-bulb freezing level
surface, which is why I was thinking it would be nice if there was an
isosurface method that would return the heights of the surface. I think
all one can do with folded areas is be content with a discontinuity in
any 2d representation, though a discontinuity might not be the result of
a fold.

Gridded3DSet would return you a geometry in VisAD coordinates and
you could then convert those to lat/lon/alt by running them through
the MapProjectionDisplay's coordinate system (fromReference), I
would presume. But tom's point is valid in that you can't always
map an isosurface to a 2D surface. Even a "simple" field like
temperature might have folds where there are inversions.

Paul -- I don't know of anything off-hand. One issue I see
is if
there is a fold in the isosurface, a 2D representation is
impossible.
For example, think of an isosurface of wind speed for, say,
the 40kt
isosurface -- they would be "tubes" and "bubbles"...

Hi IDV'ers,
I'm interested to know if there is a way to extract an
isosurface
from a 3d
gridded field and store it as a 2d grid of isosurface
heights for
display
or other purposes, using an IDV Jython script?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi guys - you are probably both aware but just to be sure, the VisAD
Gridded3DSet
class does have methods to extract both isosurfaces and isolines :
