The problem is how do you connect one layer to another when the points are scattered data? The answer, you don't. So what you need is to create a 3-D grid that can encapsulate all of the data and then map your scattered points on to it, in comes AutoGrid. This is exactly what it does. Just import all of your points in and collect them then run them through AutoGrid. You may need to look at the docs for more help.

I  have some numerical simulations with the output as 2-d x,y data:
x0 y0
x1 y1
.. ..
The data range for all the simulations is 0<x<6.28, 0<y<1.  The data are
scattered points and each
file may have a different number of data points than others.  I change a
numeric parameter
and generate a new file.  My import .general file uses points, 2-vector,
floats, and positioin dependancy. I can
look at one file with a simple net:

import-mark(postions)-autocolor-image

What I would really like to do is to combine the 2-d data into a large 3-d
object. I tried the following unsuccessfully to try and combine just two:

import1-mark1-
              =collect series-stack-autocolor-image
import2-mark2-

My questions are:
1)How do I do this at all?
2)How do I index the "z" direction by the numeric parameter from the
simulations?
3)How do I do this gracefully, so maybe I don't need a separate import for
each data file?

Thanks for any suggestions.
