Hello,

Is it possible to render axis and tick labels in a 3D visad display so
that they are always oriented upright and toward the user?  I've dug
through the source and a method is not obvious to me.  I've done this in
the past using Java3D constructs, but I don't see how one might do this
with the abstraction VisAD has placed on the axis scale rendering.

Thanks,
