This is the usual Swing layout problems, rather than anything
specific to VisAD. I *think* you can solve your problem with
code like:

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("VisAD HSV Color Coordinates");
    frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
    });

    // create JPanel in frame
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
    panel.setAlignmentY(JPanel.TOP_ALIGNMENT);
    panel.setAlignmentX(JPanel.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
    frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
    panel.add(display1.getComponent());

However, others know more than I do about Swing.

Good luck,
Bill
