Thank you Don. Your dedication and attention to this mailing list is to be commended. Your advice has worked its charm every time. Thanks.
For the record and other future newbie users, I have managed to create an overlay using a grid set of values that correspond to 3 different colors. Essentially I used the following:
public class MyGridLayer extends Layer {
:
:
OMGridData.Int rgbGridData = argb_GridData(someArrayOfIntVals);
OMGrid omGrid = new OMGRID(lat_min, lon_min,
deltaLat, deltaLon, rgbGridData );
SimpleColorGenerator gen = new SimpleColorGenerator();
omGrid.setGenerator(gen);
this.omgraphics.addOMGraphic(omGrid);
}
This works well. I'll just have to optimize the color generator so that a new OMRaster is created only when the projection changes, and not everytime you pan or change position.
QUESTION that remains. I did a checkered pattern (10x10 grid) to test this OMGrid and I notice that the cells on the edges of the checker board are essentially cut in half. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could please explain this effect. I've attached a small image that illustrates what I'm seeing. Is this a function of how the generator places the pixels in the OMRaster ?

There's an OMGrid object that handles this situation. You create one
where the grid should be overlayed, and give it an OMGridGenerator that
creates OMGraphics from the data values within the grid. There are
example OMGridGenerators in the package.
I think you might want to check out the version from CVS, I did some
work this year on OMGrids that might make it easier to use them for
your data values. CVS instructions are on the website download page.
There is more information about OMGrids in the javadocs.

Don
