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.

ScalarMaps to ZAxis are illegal with TwoDDisplayRendererJ3D, so when you display Gridded3DSet you can map two of its domain RealTypes to XAxis and YAxis, but one of its domain RealTypes cannot be mapped spatially. Thus the Display logic cannot use the topology of the Gridded3DSet in display space. That's why the image turns into dots. For contours, it needs a topology and tries to compute a new one (since it cannot use the one from the Gridded3DSet). I am not sure exactly what is happening in your case, but am not too surprised there are problems. I suggest converting your Gridded3DSet with manifold dimension = 2 to a Gridded2DSet, for display with TwoDDisplayRendererJ3D. Good luck, Bill
