I'm currently finishing up a report of my experiences with VisAD, and 
everything seems to be going ok except for the section on VisAD's use of 
Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI).

I would like for the readers of my document to get a feel for the 
architecture of VisAD's remote-data model; unfortunately, it would seem 
that I don't understand it too well myself :-)

What I'd like to know is whether the rendering of the remote data takes 
place on the remote machine.  Or is the data ported over to the client 
to be rendered there?  The second scenario seems unlikely, given that 
VisAD was designed to work with such large data sets, but I would much 
rather hear from the authors than my make my own semi-educated guesses. 

Thanks so much,
