One way to do this is to subclass Canvas3D and override postSwap(). You can
then make your loop stop processing until it gets woken up by a notification
from postSwap(). You may also want to use View.getFrameNumber() to wait for
some number of frames before returning control. In 1.1 you'll need to wait at
least two frames to be sure your changes are on the screen, in 1.2 you should
only need to wait one frame.
You'll want to use the Object wait/notify methods to halt and restart the loop
thread.
