Nancy, Ned, Thanks Ned you're right.

Nancy I ran your example and looked at the sample network WarpingPositions.net as well as modifying it so that it took only the output from a construct and showed the connections. Unfortunately, like Ned pointed out, this is not what I want to do. I wonder if someone could answer a question (or a few related questions) for me? The dx userguide says the connections are the straight lines connecting points. Is this equivalent to saying that the connections are "world lines" in some geometry, or does it mean that connections are necessarily Euclidean? For example, in cartesian coordinates a straight line is say the set of all points which satisfy x=1, z=3. Similarly in cylindrical coordinates we could define a "world line" which is described by the set of points which satisfy r=sqrt(x^2 + y^2)=1, z=3. Can this type of connection also be described in the dx data model? Another way to say it is, can I warp connections, like I warp positions? Thanks, Tom
