Inquiry: Making special point data symbols in the geon idv java package, using extensions to the class MetSymbol, with method makeShapes, the shapes to make the complete symbol are an array of VisADGeometryArray.The IDV plotting now centers every individual shape in this array at the same data point, even though they are specified with offsets from the center, thereby destroying the complete symbol desired. Code is attached that used to work - see makeShapes().
I'll take a look at the code. -Jeff
