Good question. The method ScalarMap.setUnderscoreToBlank()
gets you part of the way there, but cannot help with
embedded "(" and ")" in names. So I've added a new method
to ScalarMap:
public void setScalarName(String name);
It will use this name, in place of the Scalar name, on axis
labels and widgets. Also, visad/examples/Test26.java now
tests this. These changes are now on the VisAD ftp server.
Cheers,
Bill
