As a very new (< 1 week) VisAD user, I've got a few questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to:
1) Using PickManipulationRendererJ3D, I'd like to be able to have some way of telling what I've picked. Currently, I'm doing this by having a separate field and DataReferenceImpl for each thing that I might want to pick, and passing the Java object in to an appropriately designed subclass of CellImpl. Since there's a separate CellImpl for each object, I can then tell which object i've clicked on.
This works, but seems a bit clunky. Is there a cleaner way to do it?2) Having clicked on something, I'd like to remap its appearance, which is currently determined by a reference to a ConstantMap which defines colors and point sizes. What's the best way to go about redefining the constant map?
3) How would I go about changing the initial view (zoom and camera position) of a DisplayImplJ3D?
4) I'd like to revise the rotation behavior for the DisplayImpleJ3D. Specifically, I'd like to support (at the user's discretion) rotation that is constrained along one axis at a time. What would be the best way to do this?
Any feedback would be appreciated. I realize that some of these issues have been discussed on this list at various times, but I was not able to find answers that seemed to fit these questions.
