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.

A while back, I asked about mapping multiple data sets to the same axis, and got a response saying that this was possible, if you use setScaleEnable: <SNIPPET FROM OLD MESSAGE> ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Is it possible to produce plots with more than one axis scale in the > same direction?

If so, how? > Hi John, As long as you have called GraphicsModeControl's setScaleEnable(true) you should get an axis scale for every ScalarMap mapping a RealType to an Axis. e.g. display.getGraphicsModeControl().setScaleEnable(true); display.addMap(new ScalarMap(a, Display.XAxis)); display.addMap(new ScalarMap(b, Display.XAxis)); should give you a scale for a and b along the x axis, unless I am missing something. -------------------------------------------------------------------- </END SNIPPET> So, was this advice wrong? Is it not possible to plot two lines or two surfaces (or whatever) in the same display? (For instance, a "climatogram" plotting temperature and precipitation vs. time.) This functionality is important to the educational visualization application I am working on. -john
