The visad.util.RangeWidget class is designed to do just
what you want. Just its constructor your ScalarMap to
ZAxis, and you'll get a widget (that you can add to your
GUI) that lets the user interactively change the setRange()
for the ScalarMap to ZAxis. There is an example in
visad/examples/Test66.java of using this with a ScalarMap
to RGB. It can be used with a ScalarMap to ZAxis just the
same.

Good luck,
Bill
