SparseGrid does not support color maps directly.  But it's easy enough to do it.  Choose or create a SimplePortrayal to display your object.  Let's say it's OvalPortrayal2D.  Then you can say:





final SimpleColorMap map = new SimpleColorMap( .......  );  // set it up like you'd like



OvalPortrayal2D oval = new OvalPortrayal2D()

	{

	public void draw(Object object, Graphics2D graphics, DrawInfo2D info)

		{

		MyObjectClass obj = (MyObjectClass) object;

		double val = obj.getMyAttribute();

		paint = new Color(map.getColor(val));

		super.draw(object, graphics, info);

		}

	};



Then just use 'oval' as your portrayal.
