I have added a little code to each of the 'quick graphs' in the Python
graph.py module that will support the direct use of non-VisAD data
objects. For example, you can now do:
graph.lineplot((1,2,3,4,3,2,1), color='green')
or
graph.image( ((1,2,3),(3,4,2),(4,3,2)))
These changes were also added to the scatter() and histogram() methods,
and were accomplished by seeing if the input 'data' is a PyList or
PyTuple -- if it is, then the 'field()' method is called to create a
VisAD Data object suitable for rendering.
This should be in the next VisAD release, although you can pick up an
early copy at:

If you're using Python, I might also mention that I'm just about
finished with a refactoring of the subs.py to correct a problem for
people with multiple displays who wanted to use shapes, and to create a
more extensible environment. The refactoring will be mostly backward
compatible with the current 'static' methods approach, but will also
allow OO-oriented programmers the ability to use most of the 'display'
methods as instance methods. For example:
disp = makeDisplay(maps)
....
disp.drawString("This is my string",(100,100))
....
