Hi Tom, > I'm attempting to render points as spheres. But i'm having problems w/ > rendering in POLYGON_FILL mode w/i visad.

What > am I missing? My best guess is that there is some problem with your normals, or even errors in your geometry. The attached jar file includes a Python program dna.py and a data file dna_molecule.txt read by the program. This program draws atoms as octahedra (poor man's spheres) with no problem. Also, VisAD draws vary complex shapes including spehres as iso-surfaces without problem. Good luck, Bill
