I did what you told me, but im not able to visualize any text in the
display.

I´ll include the code I´ve written.

Here is where I define my 3D display:
        GraphicsConfiguration gConfig= VisADCanvasJ3D.getDefaultConfig();

        DisplayRendererJ3D renderer= new DefaultDisplayRendererJ3D();

        WriteText3D write3D= new WriteText3D(renderer, gConfig);


        DisplayImplJ3D display3D= new DisplayImplJ3D("display3D", renderer,
DisplayImplJ3D.JPANEL, gConfig, write3D);



The Write Text3D class is the one that extends from VisADCanvasJ3D:

        public class WriteText3D extends VisADCanvasJ3D {

            private String titleText;


            public WriteText3D( DisplayRendererJ3D renderer,
GraphicsConfiguration config) {

                    super(renderer,config);

                    titleText="Prueba de texto fijo";

            }

            public void renderField(int i) {


                    J3DGraphics2D g2D= this.getGraphics2D();

                    g2D.drawString(titleText,100,80);

                    super.renderField(i);

            }

}


That´s all. Thanks again for all of your help!!
