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.

Re: visad.TypeException: ScalarType: name already used

Great to hear you're making such good progress.  You can solve
your problem like this:
 
  RealType X = RealType.getRealTypeByName("X");
  if (X == null) X = new RealType("X",null,null);
 
Whether wisely or not, VisAD maintains a Vector of all RealTypes
constructed on a JVM and will not allow duplicate names [however,
duplicates can occur if a RealType of the same name is constructed
on another JVM and passed by copy (i.e., Serialized via RMI) to
this JVM].  RealType.getRealTypeByName will return any RealType
previously constructed on this JVM with a given name.
 
Good luck,
Bill
