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 Anjum, > Can I use VisAd for network data visualization making > my own glyphs? If yes, how? You can make your own glyphs using ScalarMaps to Shape. See Test46.java and Test47.java in visad/examples. You can construct a network as a UnionSet of GriddedSets with manifold dimension = 1. You must assign spatial locations to the vertices of your network, which can be in 2-D (Gridded2DSet) or 3-D (Gridded3DSet). A lot depends on exactly how you want to depict your network. If you want links displayed as lines and vertices using your own glyphs, in 2-D, you'd need two Data objects with MathTypes: 1. Set(x, y) // a UnionSet of Gridded2DSets with manifold dimension = 1 2. ((x, y) -> shape) // a FlatField with the Set from 1 as domain Set and ScalarMaps x -> XAxis, y -> YAxis, shape -> Shape. Data object 1 would be depicted as lines, and Data object 2 would be depicted as your glyphs. The lines and glyphs might overlap and interfere, so you might want to use different Sets for 1 and the domain Set in 2, where the Set in 1 has shortened lines. Good luck, Bill
