Hi Kevin,
Looking at the code in the visad.data.visad package, it appears
that VisADForm.readData() uses visad.data.visad.BinaryReader.
I believe you could use code like the following:
public static FieldImpl readGZipFile(String filename)
throws IOException, VisADException
{
BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(
new GZIPInputStream(new FileInputStream(filename)));
return (FieldImpl) reader.getData();
}
I'm not sure about visad.data.netcdf.Plain though.
Unfortunately, there is no standard API in VisAD for importing
data from InputStreams or InputStreamReaders. Certain file
forms such as VisADForm have implemented it in various ways,
but after a brief glance at Plain, I didn't see a way to do it
for netCDF.
