alternate axes labels in VisAD-Python

[Tom Whittaker <tomw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently I received an email with the question about how to produce 
different labels on the axes of VisAD graphs.  Unfortunately, the return 
address was invalid, so I'm answering the question here.

This is provided through AxisScale's setLabelTable() method.  You must 
consctruct a java.util.Hashtable, and put() entries in the form:

ht.put(new Double(0),"zero")
ht.put(new Double(10),"ten")

In Jython, you would need to do pretty much the same thing.  Here is the 
example you asked for:

from java.util import Hashtable
from java.lang import Double
from visad import AxisScale
from subs import *
a=load("AREA0001")
m=makeMaps("ImageElement",'x',"ImageLine",'y')
d=makeDisplay(m)
ht=Hashtable()
ht.put(Double(0),"zero")
ht.put(Double(350),"3-5-0")
ht.put(Double(700),'7-0-0')
m[0].getAxisScale().setLabelTable(ht)
addData('a',a,d)
showDisplay(d)
showAxesScales(d,1)

Hope that helps.
