Import->Mark("size") -> AutoGlyph

Then you can use the scale and ratio options of AutoGlyph to change appropriately.

Greetings,

I'm following this list for quite a while (basically since I started
using dx 3 month ago). I really like this program, but now I've got a
problem I couldn't solve so far. I'm sure there is a very simple way of
doing it, but I can't see it right now.

I've created a program that is generating a box filled (not tightly
packed) with spheres of randoms sizes. Its output is of the following
structure (assuming 100 spheres):

----

object 1 class array type float rank 1 shape 3 items 100 data follows
        -0.6902   -5.5948   0.0000 [x,y,z coordinate]
        ...

object 2 class array type float rank 0 items 100 data follows
        0.9999 [radius]
        ...
attribute "dep" string "positions"

object "data" class field
component "positions" value 1
component "size" value 2
end

----

How can I display these spheres on their correct positions and with the
correct radius according to the size component? At the moment, I'm using
Import->Glyph->Image which displays the spheres at the correct position
but with the same radius (r=1 IIRC).

Do I have to choose a diffent output for my program? (Wouldn't be a
problem if so.)

Thanks for your help,
Kai
