Hello Bill,
Thanks for the response.

How does "2003-07-21 18:00 +0000" cover "2003-07-21 18:25 +0000"? Is it
because the time from the 18:25 sample to the 18:00 sample is less than
half-way from 18:25 to 17:25? (I hope that's clear.)
Also, the program that this was extracted from does use setSet. I've
just tried modifying the test program by making a new Gridded1DDoubleSet
with all the time samples in order and passing that to setSet(), and
those two samples are still missed.
I added these lines near the start:
// dates1 and dates2 merged and sorted.
static String[] allDates = new String[] {
"2003-07-21 13:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 14:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 15:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 16:13 +0000",
"2003-07-21 17:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 18:00 +0000",
"2003-07-21 18:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 19:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 20:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 21:25 +0000",
"2003-07-21 22:13 +0000",
"2003-07-21 23:25 +0000",
"2003-07-22 00:00 +0000",
"2003-07-22 06:00 +0000",
"2003-07-22 12:00 +0000",
"2003-07-22 18:00 +0000",
};
And this in main:
double[][] allDoubles = new double[1][allDates.length];
for (int i=0; i<allDates.length; i++) {
allDoubles[0][i] = date2double(allDates[i]);
}
Gridded1DDoubleSet animationset = new Gridded1DDoubleSet(RealType.Time,
allDoubles,
allDates.length);
animationControl.setSet(animationset);
setSet() did not seem to have the desired effect. Have I missed
something?
Thanks
