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 current VisAD Set classes do not parameterize manifolds and hence do not asscoaiet RealTypes with such parameters. The manifold is simply described by a topology of lines, triangles, squares, etc. Cheers, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
