toggle(false) should not remove a DataRenderer and its data
from the auto-scaling logic. Only three possibilities I can
think of:
1. You are calling setRange() on all the 'scaled' ScalarMaps
(e.g., spatial axes and colors).
2. It is auto-scaling but the data ranges have not changed
so the implicit values to setRange() remain unchanged.
3. There is a bug in VisAD.
If you can send a little test app that demonstrates a bug,
I'll fix it.
Cheers,
Bill
