Hi Paul,

Your Exception is indeed caused by calling getImage() from
an event handler.  I doubt that using the invokeLater()
method from SwingUtilities will work.  Your event handler
needs to construct a 'new Thread' for this, as in the
captureDialog() method of visad.ss.FancySSCell (at about
line 700).  Note this method calls BasicSSCell.captureImage()
which in turn calls DisplayImpl.getImage() and then uses
the image to build a JPEG file.  Your code would probably
do something different after the getImage() call.

I have asked Curtis to upload a new visad.jar longer than
3k.

Cheers,
Bill
