Oops, I spoke too soon about the problems with Java 3D Alpha03. I have seen these problems too in certain DisplayTest cases. We are running OpenGL 1.1 with Creator3D, so the recommended patch 106022-02 is not appropriate (it is only for OpenGL 1.1.1 - in fact I tried installing patch 106022-02 and it wouldn't let me). Since I satisfy the requirements for Alpha03 and still see errors, I believe you have found a bug in Alpha03 and I will inform Sun. Meanwhile, I recommend not upgrading to Alpha03 if you are running VisAD. I have not tried Alpha02, but am still using Alpha01. Also, GraphicsModeControl.setProjectionPolicy now displays correctly with javax.media.j3d.View.PARALLEL_PROJECTION, but direct manipulation is not working correctly in that mode. I'll let you know when I've got that fixed. Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
