Please consider this: The Raster class in J3D 1.1.2 running under JDK 1.2.1 has no way to specify a "hot spot." The hot spot is very important to us when the center of a symbol (icon) needs to be positioned on a spot on the earth (our model). The same symbol also needs to be picked. The Raster only allows the picking of the single point on which it was positioned. This makes it next to impossible for the user to pick. My request, then, is to give the Raster class the capability for * hot spot positioning * pick capability with an aperture over the entire raster field If an alternative approach is available to the above requirement, please advise.
