I thought the container reference was needed by the getBounds() method -
it requires an argument of a UIComponent of some kind, I thought the
custom component would need to know the new size of the container when
it got re-sized. If I don't need the container reference, then maybe I
could just say getBounds(this) instead and it would work.
Also, I want to implement a method to scale the graphics up and down, I
have that working, but I'm back to the graphic not being centered and
not staying within the boundaries of the Panel container again when the
zoom occurs. I tried calling updateDisplayList again when the zoom
action happens, but that didn't work. Any thoughts there?

I think in the general case, you'll need to set
minHeight/minWidth to zero or something small on the Panel or have fixed
width/height on the Panel to get the Panel to consider putting up
scrollbars.
The graphics object should compute
measuredMinWidth/measuredMinHeight to be the same as
measuredWidht/Height so the Panel will not try to shrink it past its
dimensions.
If you can compute the measurements w/o drawing then you don't
need commitProperties and just draw in updateDisplayList.
I don't know why you need a container reference unless it is to
get the bounds of the container to determine where to draw, but if
you've set up % widht/height you'll be given those dimensions in
updateDisplayList.

Hey Jim, passing minWidth and minHeight to the custom UI
component worked perfectly for me - now the drawn graphic is contained
in the Panel container - thank you!
