extending LAS: add a 5th dimension (beyond x,y,z,t)

[J-M Epitalon <Jean-Marie.Epitalon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I plan to use CDAT instead of Ferret as a graphic engine,
because CDAT is not limited to 4 dimensions.

Actually, I have model output organized along 4 dimensions plus one:
we make 6 runs of a climate simulation with different initial conditions
each time.

I would like to have a dimension going from 1 to 6, the sequence number
of a run.

Would it be possible to modify LAS and its UI to support an additionnal
dimension ?
I guess it is not an easy task!!
Could anyone give me some advice on where to start ?
