I've always use an Integer1DSet for ShapeControl.setShapeSet() such that my Field range values are effectively indices into the VisADGeometryArray[] used for setShapes(), to minimize confusion if nothing else. I now need to represent an observation as a shape with multiple VisADGeometryArrays, i.e. a VisADGeometryArray[]. Instead of making a Field with the same domain values repeated and range values from 0 to n for each of the n GeometryArrays, I thought there ought to be a clever way to make use of the ShapeSet. My Field has a single sample with a range value of 0. My ShapeSet is a Linear1DSet( 0.0, 0.0, n ). This works if n = 1, but I see nothing on the display when n > 1. More surprising, perhaps, I don't even see any Exceptions. Should this approach work? If not, are there any other ideas? Is there a case where it makes sense to use anything other than an Integer1DSet for the ShapeSet? It's an extra level of complexity in an already complex API for making shapes.
