I'm trying to attach labels to my planets and moons.  With Daniel Selman's
help, I've learned how to use a Raster object to create fixed size lables,
and it looks pretty good (see attached jpeg).  But the problem I've run into
is that I can't avoid having the text obscured by the planet.  The text is
being written in the exact center of the sphere.  As one gets nearer to the
planet, the text is obscured.  This is what's happened to the "E" in "Earth"
in the screenshot.

Is there a way to use the DepthComponent object when defining my Raster so
that Z values will be ignored?  i've been reading the javadocs and the 1.2
specification, but it's not making a lot of sense to me.

I've also tried PolygonAttributes.setPolygonOffset(), but this didn't make
any apparent difference.
