Dear Tom, 

Thank you so much. I'm using Java, not Jython. Actually I started with Jython 
because I was more familiar with Python, but seems we're using all Java 
libraries, it'd better to go with all Java :)
I'll poke around the examples that you suggested!

Hi --

I would suggest looking at these VisAD examples:
Test44.java
Test45.java
Test61.java
Test69.java
Test70.java

If you are using Jython, however, I suggest you look in the subs.py module at 
the "drawString()" method (plus the init() method that does the scalar 
mappings).

I will have to let others comment on how to tie these to the cursor position....

Hope this helps.
