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.

The ContourWidget handles mappings to IsoContour in both the 2-D case and the 3-D case. The "contours" checkbox will turn contours on and off in both 2-D and 3-D. The JSlider is for selecting an iso-level in 3-D (it has no effect in the 2-D case). The "labels", "dashed lines", "interval", "base", and range select controls are all for controlling iso-contours in the 2-D case only. They do not have any effect in the 3-D case. DisplayTest 1 demos the ContourWidget in 3-D. DisplayTest 5 demos the ContourWidget in 2-D. It turns out to be a rather complicated issue for the ContourWidget to detect whether a given display is in 2-D or 3-D, so it just displays all of its controls all the time, even though some of them are not necessary in certain cases. -Curtis -- Curtis Rueden <curtis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, (608) 262-7288 VisAD home page: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html
