Multiple Data objects can be linked to a single Display and
thus appear on one set of axes.
However, the real answer to your problem is to form your
lines as Gridded2DSets (if you want lines in 2-D) or
Grided3DSets (if you want lines in 3-D), in either case
with manifold dimension = 1. You can combine multiple
lines in a UnionSet. To get color, use your Set as the
domain Set of a FlatField with MathType (e.g., in the
3-D case):
((x, y, z) -> (r, g, b))
In your Display, map x -> XAxis, ..., r -> Red, ...
In your FlatField, set color values into r, g & b via
setSamples().
If you prefer not to use UnionSet, you can do the same thing
by using each Gridded*DSet as the domain Set of its own
FlatField, and combining multiple FlatFields as range objects
of a FieldImpl with MathType:
(index -> ((x, y, z) -> (r, g, b)))
Good luck,
Bill
