You might want to take a look at the switchDisplay() method in
visad/examples/DisplaySwitch.java. This example switches all the
maps and data to a new display, rather than associating a new
dataset with an existing display, but you still might be able to
steal some code from it.
Specifically, look at the code concerning 'sMaps' and 'cMaps'.
It grabs the lists of ScalarMaps and ConstantMaps before calling
display.clearMaps(), then adds those maps back to the display.
If you add back the existing maps rather than creating new maps,
the ScalarMaps won't change and the ContourWidget will continue to
work.
