Thanks for the help!!!
I encountered the other problem that when I display a set of volumes (
(x,y,z)->(concentration) ) and
map the "concentration" to Display.RGBA. To make a "foggy" effect in low
concentration values,
I set the RGBA table for each volume. When I displayed multiple sets (
multiple maps of RGBA ),
the transparency didn't work well:
Transparent area in a set shelters other other volume set data. It looks
like a front invisible object cull out a back object,
but I exepct it should not cull out any object in the back if it is
"transparent".
Do you have any solution for it?
Thanks again,
Tim

Subject: Re: How to populate a set of isosurfaces by giving a set of
(x,y,z,value)
Hi Tim
An easy way would be to define a separate RealType for each
number of IsoSurfaces, each representing the same range
values:
(x,y,z) -> (RealType1, RealType2, RealTypeN)
Then map:
RealType1 -> IsoContour
RealType2 -> IsoContour
RealTypeN -> IsoContour
This would waste memory, but you could try reusing the
domainSet in separate FlatFields using the
FlatField.setSamples(float[][] range, boolean copy) with
copy == false.
For a couple of isosurfaces, I wouldn't think this would be
to bad.
