Hi,

Why is it that these work:

ScalarType type = (ScalarType) ScalarType.getScalarTypeByName("XAxis");
RealType type   = (RealType)   ScalarType.getScalarTypeByName("XAxis");

but 

DisplayRealType type = (DisplayRealType)
ScalarType.getScalarTypeByName("XAxis");

gives:

java.lang.ClassCastException: visad.RealType

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,
Doug
