Hi Jack,

Actually, what you want is already done in VisAD.  Check out
visad/examples/TestStereo.java which constructs a
GraphicsConfiguration just like your code does, then passes
it as an argument to the DisplayImplJ3D constructor:

  new DisplayImplJ3D("display1", DisplayImplJ3D.APPLETFRAME, config);

where it ends being passed to the super(config) constructor
for Canvas3D by the VisADCanvasJ3D constructor.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

Cheers,
Bill
