Thanks Ugo, Bill,
By the time the seismic data gets to me it is, without
exception, regularly sampled. That is the sampling interval
in each dimension is constant (but may be differnt between
dimensions).
Typically we index the values according to inline, crossline
and time. Think of time as equivalent(ish) to depth. So all
three of these can be integers.
Is there any computational advantage to using an Integer3DSet
over a Linear3DSet?
Andrew
PS: In case you're interested, the origin of the nomenclature
inline and cross line comes from how the data is acquired: a
boat sail up and down surveying the data. The "inline"
direction is the direction in which the boat sailed.

In VisAD-speak, this, the cube, is a Linear3DSet. There are
other
"cubes" with different sampling, but the linear 3D set will
probably do
the trick. Check out:

...if you have some time between nappy changes...
As Bill said, Jython might save you some time:
