Yes you were both right, my problem was I was doing the whole
DataReference create in another object (so I was using different
RealTypes, and RealTupleTypes) then just trying to pass the
DataReference over and thinking it would magically work.
But when I moved my code (for throwing the shapefile image in) into a
function in the other app it all worked great.
The only problem I have now, which I think I can take care of
programmatically is making sure the setRange() on the latMap and lonMap
(to view a certain portion of the display) keep the ratio as to not
distort my display.

I'll take a stab at this. See below.

I agree with Bill. It looks to me like you are creating
a color shaded view of the lat/lon values, or you have
your temp mapped to RGB and the color table set to white (
or constant maps equalling white). Please review your
ScalarMaps. You should have Lat -> Y, Lon ->X, value -> IsoContour,
(and optionally) value -> RGB.

See above. If you want your map to just cover the region of your
contours, set the range on the x and y axes to cover that area.

This makes sense.

This will be due to the range setting of the ScalarMaps I presume.

Probably. I'll talk to the developer and see what the design was.
It probably says that if a shape is in the rectangle, use the whole
shape. Is that what you are asking?
If you want to have just the region of your data displayed, set the
ranges on the lat/lon axes and use the setClip method of
DisplayRendererJ*D to clip at the bounds to remove excess map lines.
