HI, what I said was that it is not necessary to put the data into a 
.heprep file to display it in WIRED. For both the data and the detector 
geometry you have a choice:

*) Read the objects to be displayed from a .heprep file
*) Create them on the fly as Java "HepRep" objects

What we do for the ILC detectors in the lcsim framework is to read the 
detector geometry description from a .heprep file, then create HepRep 
objects on-the-fly representing the data, then send the combination of 
the two to WIRED to display. If you have the lcsim package checked out 
you can look in the package org.lcsim.util.heprep to see how this is 
done, in particular org.lcsim.util.heprep.LCSimHepRepConverter.

I also said I would send you a simple demo of how to get started with 
this in the KPiX package, I will try to do that in the next day or two.

Tony
