Construct the FTM stuff

Parameters:

tr - A DataReferenceImpl, The visad data for the cyclone track tr.getData() should have MathType: * (Time -> tuple)) where tuple is flat [e.g., (Latitude, Longitude, shape_index)] and must include RealTypes Latitude and Longitude plus a RealType mapped to Shape in the DisplayImpl d; Time may or may not be mapped to Animation

d - A DisplayImplJ3D, - The Display to add the FTM to

shape_map1 - First ScalarMap of RealTypes in tr.getData()

shape_map2 - Second ScalarMap of RealTypes in tr.getData()

need_monitor - - Need to monitor tr to maintain external changes to it.

size - - storm symbol size

ga - A VisADGeometryArray[][] - two arrays of geometry objects which represent the cyclone symbols in the order: none, low, depresion1, depresion2, s-cyclone1, s-cyclone2, n-cyclone1, n-cyclone2. There are two arrays so you can combine shapes (ie: circle & lines) The geometry can be built with makeStormShapes() or an application defined method.

shapeColour - - colour of symbols TODO: Have a setCycloneGeometry(VisADGeometryArray[][] ga) method

Throws:

VisADException

RemoteException

Method Detail

makeStormShapes

public static VisADGeometryArray[][] makeStormShapes(int nv,

                                              throws VisADException

Create the geometry array which contains the shapes for the cyclone symbols.

Parameters:

nv - - The number of vertices?

size - - The size of all the symbols, apparently relative to the size of the window

Throws:
