Hi all it was very difficult to get the composite transformation to work so now i just feed the transformgroup that did my translation into the keyboard behavior... so far it's ok but the viewer cannot turn yet... hope to fix that later.... btw, when i load an image into the background, the keyboard behavior is very slow and jerky ..... does anyone have this problem?
