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.
Hi Ilan, > How do you display a two dimensional surface, like in Matlab, using the > SpreadSheet ? It depends on the data. If you import the images.nc file (from ftp://www.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/images.nc) and select Cell/Edit Mappings, you'll see the MathType: (Time -> ((x, y) -> val) This indicates that images.nc contains a time sequence of images. Click on "Clear All", then: 1. click "x" then "X" (to map x -> XAxis) 2. click "y" then "Y" (to map y -> YAxis) 3. click "val" then "Z" (to map val -> ZAxis) 4. click "Time" then "Anim" (to map Time -> Animation) This will create an animated 2-D surface. If you import a GIF or JPEG image and select Edit Mappings, you'll see the MathType: (ImageElement, ImageLine) -> (Red, Green, Blue)) You can see a surface with the mappings: ImageElement -> XAxis ImageLIne -> YAxis Red -> ZAxis Red -> Red Green -> Green Blue -> Blue The basic idea is that if the data's MathType contains any part like: (...(x, y) -> (...z...)) then you can get a 2-D surface with mappings: x -> XAxis y -> YAxis z -> ZAxis Good luck, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
