Ian, right now it is not possible, but I think Sun announced this feature
for J3D 1.3 (fall 2000 ?). Since then, here is a workaround I use:
Put all geometry which should be shown in all canvases in one SharedGroup,
then create 3 geometry- and 3 view-branches (I think, you already have 3
view branches), with a kind of 'offset' ( = TransformGroup with reasonable
Transform3D so that every branch is far away from the other branches), put
the SharedGroup in all geometry branches, and add the specific geometry to
the specific branches. Of course, the world coordinates of at least 2 of
those 3 branches are a no longer the 'real' world coordinates...
Maybe you could also use multiple Locale-objects instead of branches.
Hope that helps, Marco.
