Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I'm a member of Dr. Pensak's Advanced Computer Technology Group. I'm starting my textual data mining visualization project using VisAD with a simple 3-D surface static graph from a file. The file has X values 1-40, Y values 1-30, and Z values 1-30,000. The 3-D graph should show the terrain of the Z values. Later I want to interactively update the graph by getting values from a remote server when the user clicks on a JFC table. I have VisAD working and have explored all the examples in detail. However, nothing seem to come close to what I want to do. Most values are pre-generated or come from a native interface to Fortan subroutines. My question is-- does someone have a simple example of a 3-D surface from a file (or static array) that I could use to bootstrap this project? I'm perfectly willing to figure this out on my own. However, if something similiar is out there it could save me many hours/days/weeks of work. Thanks in advance for any help.
