The test in 'java visad.Irregular3DSet' demonstrates this
is not true. It's main() method constructs an Irregular3DSet
and then prints the values of the Irregular3DSet's Samples
array, and they have the values that were passed to the
constructor (values in the 100's).
However, if you link your Irregular3DSet to a DisplayImpl,
a different Irregular3DSet will be constructed inside the
display logic with values in the range (-1.0, 1.0). This is
done by the auto-scaling logic. If this is what you mean,
you can prevent this by calling setRange(-1.0, 1.0) for your
ScalarMaps to XAxis, YAxis and ZAxis.
Good luck,
Bill
