Add VisAD <data> to the display <disp>. Use a reference <name>. If there are ConstantMaps, also add them. If there is a non-default Renderer, use it as well. Finally, you can supply a pre-defined DataReference as <ref>.

Returns the DataReference

Add a shape for this display. Parameters: <type> of shape (cross,triangle,square, solid_square,solid_triangle, or a VisADGeometryArray. <scale> = relative size for the shape. <color> = color name (e.g., "green") <index> = the index of the shape to replace with this one. If autoScale is true, the shape will be scaled.

Returns an index to this shape. (For use with moveShape.)

        offset=.1,
        index=None,
        )

Put a title onto this display. The title is centered just above the VisAD box. Use offset to move it up/down. Set the text color with color, and if this is a replacement for a previous title, then index is the value previously returned.

Return the shape index for later adjustments...

        )

Draw lines on this display. <points> is a 2 or 3 dimensional, list/tuple of points to connect as a line, ordered as given in the <mathtype>. Default <mathtype> is whatever is mapped to the x,y (and maybe z) axis. <color> is the line color ("red" or java.awt.Color; default=white), <style> is the line style (e.g., "dash"), and <width> is the line width in pixels.

Return a reference to this line.

        base=[.1, 0., 0.],
        up=[ 0.,.1, 0.],
        size=None,
        )

Draw a string of characters on this display. <string> is the string of characters. <point> is the starting location for the string drawing, expressed as a list/tuple of 2 or 3 values (x,y,z). <color> is the color (e.g., "red" or java.awt.Color; default = white). <center> if true will center the string. <font> defiles the HersheyFont name to use. <start> defines the relative location of the starting point (x,y,z; default = 0,0,0). <base> defines the direction that the base of the string should point (x,y,z; default= along x-axis). <up> defines the direction of the vertical stroke for each character (default = along y-axis). <size> is the relative size. Returns the index to the shape of the text (useful for moving).

getDisplayScalarMaps ( self,  includeShapes=0 )

Return a list of the scalarmaps mappings for this display. The list elements are ordered: x,y,z,display. If <includeShapes> is true, then mappings for Shape will be appended. The <display> may be a Display, or the name of a plot() window.

makeCube ( self )

maximizeBox ( self,  clip=1 )

Set the size of the VisAD box for the <display> to 95%. If <clip> is true, the display will be clipped at the border of the box; otherwise, data displays may spill over.
