Hmm... I'm not quite sure how to tell the size of the image/texture map of
small.v5d to see if what you are referring to could be my problem. I'm just
using small.v5d because it was one of the samples that came under the "data"
folder when I unzipped VisAD. The strange thing is that I re-unzipped the
whole visAD package and replaced the old SpreadSheet.java to try to start
out new again. I added a small print statement in the main method of
SpreadSheet.java expecting to see something printed in the command prompt
shell. But nothing showed up. Also, my Go button appeared and when I clicked
on it, the same white square appeared. This is unexpected since the new code
for SpreadSheet.java does not have any code for a GO button yet. Could there
be a problem in my classpath and the order in which files are being read?

Do you know the size (# samples in x and y) of the image/texture map
that is trying to be displayed? There is an OpenGL-related issue on
Windows (and perhaps other platforms) in that if the data is displayed
with texture mapping (as you might with an image) and has a dimension
larger than a hardware-dependent value, then it displays has a flat
white or gray square. On my machine, the limit is 1024; one other
machine we have here, it's 512.
The only solution I know of for the time being is to resample the data
to a smaller number of samples.
