If the data are on a distorted mesh, you ought to be able to use Construct to create the correct quad connections. Create the correct 2D positions using Compute to get a list of 2-vectors. Feed this to Construct as the first input. Then set the counts input of Construct to the appropriate 2-vector (say [100, 200] for a 100 by 200 grid). Remember that it will be interpreted as "last index varies fastest, so look at your list of positions to see whether you should for example, use [100,200] or [200,100]. You can also just try both and see which one makes sense!
As others have suggested, you can use Replace to insert other "data" components with different names. _________________________________ Donna L. Gresh, Ph.D. Visual Analysis Group IBM T.J.

Hi, I import data using importspreadsheet as columns since I have different numbers of rows and columns from case to case. The data come from a distorted 2D mesh, so I extract the X and Y components and feed them to compute to get a 2D vector then to construct to get the correct (quad) connections. My question is : how can I introduce the other (data) fields into the field I just created ? The construct module allows for only one valuelist to be set as "data". I also tried to work on the whole imported field (mark and unmark), but I did not find how to change the "line" connections to "quads". Or maybe there is an easier way that I missed completely ? Thanks. (See attached file: Philippe.Nomerange.vcf)
