Don,

I can confirm what you are seeing, but it is not Java 7 / Java 3D (which is good
b/c this would be a more difficult problem to solve).

I did the following experiment.

I ran IDV 4.1 with Java 6 / J3D 1.5 and compared your bundle with IDV 4.1 with
Java 7 / J3D 1.6. In both cases, the contours you describe below display
fine. This rules out Java 7 / J3D 1.6 problems.

There has been work on the contours since IDV 4.1. I bet we could probably
isolate the emergence of this problem with a particular check in of the VisAD
library. We will have to keep you posted.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
