You don't tell Import. When your field comes in, these are all
separate components of a field. You need to use Mark or Rename to
move components around.
Shameless plug: All of this data structure information is explained
thoroughly in our book.

These are embarrassingly simple questions. I have created a .dx file
defining a field thus:
object "depthdata" class field
component "positions" "position list"
component "connections" "tri connection list"
component "data" "depth list"
component "depth2" "depth2 list"
end
According to the User's Guide, "A Field can have only one component actually
named "data", but you may assign names of your choosing to additional
components representing other data sets that are also mapped to the same
grid."
My first question is, do I need to use the name "data" for one of the
components?
Now I have created a simple net that Imports the file containing the field
"depthdata", colors it with AutoColor, then displays it with Image. If I
don't specify a value for the input "variable", then I see "data". The same
thing if I set "variable" = "depthdata". This suggests to me that
"variable" in this case means the name of the field. Am I correct?
As you might have guessed, I am trying to find out how to look at the other
data component, "depth2". How do I tell Import which data component to
select?
Thanks
Gib
