[IDV #JBN-701347]: Error when trying exp(field)

Paul,
    Again, I will not trust the result of 2.718**EQRT since the EQRT is a visad 
object. You need to verify the result by create the value plot.

I will try to extract the value from EQRT and do the calculation, something 
like:

def expTest(data):
    """change values in data to newvalue """
    newData = data.clone();
    if (GridUtil.isTimeSequence(newData)):
        for t in range(newData.getDomainSet().getLength()):
            rangeObject = newData.getSample(t)
            values = rangeObject.getFloats(0);
            for i in range(len(values)):
               for j in range(len(values[0])):
                           newValue = 2.718**values[i][j];
                           values[i][j] = newValue;                           
            rangeObject.setSamples(values,1);
    else:
        rangeObject = newData;
        values = rangeObject.getFloats(0);
        for i in range(len(values)):
          for j in range(len(values[0])):
             newValue = 2.718**values[i][j];
             values[i][j] = newValue;   
        rangeObject.setSamples(values,1);
    return newData;



This formula has not been tested, you need to do it yourself.
