Hi:So, are you saying that you first let the SpreadSheet set up the Scalar->DisplayScalar mappings, then you want to redefine these in the code you included? I guess I don't understand why you just don't define them yourself the first time? Or maybe that is not something the SpreadSheet allows (I know next to nothing about the SpreadSheet...).
I do use one "cell" of the spreadSheet alot, though, through the "plot()" method in JPythonMethods. It uses a single BasicSSCell to show the Data object in, and there is a signature that allows you to define the mappings when you create the cell. If you don't need the full power of the SpreadSheet, you might check that out.
Anyway, I guess I'm way out of my element here...so I'll have to let someone else address this.

Hi Tom, Attached is an example of a file I am working with. When you load it into a spreadsheet cell and then open up the mapping dialog box, you see "index" listed at the top of the "map from" column along with other input fields like q1, q2,..etc. I'm prespecifying what the input fields get mapped to such as latitude, longitude, flow1 x. But as Tom pointed out, when "index" is mapped to "Iso-contour", a "terminal legal" exception is thrown. Therefore, I'm trying to find out when the mappings that I generate produce that specific mapping so that I can then treat this scenario as a special case. That is why I was wondering if there was a way to extract the corresponding VisAD "mapTo" value for input field "index" after my mappings are setup. This is where I set up my mappings that I randomly generated in another class: public void setCellMapping(int width, int height) throws VisADException, RemoteException { //System.out.println("In setCellMapping() and width = " + width + "height = " + height); int fields = theJgapAPI.field_count; //limit on for loop int cellsAcross = mySS.NumVisX; //3 for now int cell_number = (width + (cellsAcross * height)); //used as arg to getMappingForCell() //ScalarMap[] theMaps = new ScalarMap[fields]; //array that will be passed into setMaps() Data[] myDatamySS.DisplayCells[width][height].getData(); Vector myVector = new Vector(fields); //capacity= 10 because there are 10 input fields in small.v5d int useless = DataUtility.getScalarTypes(myData, myVector, false, true); //will setup the myVector structure holding input fields scalar types Vector nonNullMappings = new Vector(); for (int i = 0; i < fields; i++) { //System.out.println("in setCellMapping() and i = " + i); int assignment theJgapAPI.getMappingForCell(cell_number, i); DisplayRealType mapTo mappings[assignment]; RealType mapFrom = (RealType) myVector.get(i); if (mapTo != null) { nonNullMappings.add(new ScalarMap(mapFrom, mapTo)); } } ScalarMap[] theMaps = new ScalarMap[nonNullMappings.size()]; nonNullMappings.copyInto(theMaps); //theMaps[i] = new ScalarMap(mapFrom, mapTo); //System.out.println("mapFrom = " + mapFrom); //System.out.println("mapTo = "+mapTo); //String name = mapsFrom[i]; //string name of input field i for this file, small.v5d for now //RealType mapFrom RealType.getRealType(name); //constructs a RealType object from a given String name //theMaps[i] = new ScalarMap(mapFrom, mapTo); mySS.DisplayCells[width][height].setMaps(theMaps); } Thanks,
