The best way to do what you want is to use a UnionSet of GriddedSets.
Take a look at the main method of visad.Delaunay, particularly lines
1013 to 1060. You can take a look at this code in action by running:
java visad.Delaunay 3 30 2
The basic idea is to build each component of your data (each line)
as a Gridded3DSet with manifold dimension 1, then merge all the data
into a single object (a UnionSet). You could also include planes
using Gridded3DSets with manifold dimension 2.
Let the list know if you have any questions about this.
