You can combine Swing components and Canvas3Ds within the same window. Just add the Canvas3D into your layout at whatever position you want it to appear. You may have to watch out if you're using pop-up windows of any kind (JComboBox caught me out recently) as they'll appear behind the Canvas3D unless you disable the use of light-weight components. This article should explain better than I can:

However I would like to use a GUI with buttons, as I wish to have this program as a part of a web page. How do I go about doing this? I can create a Swing application and have a seperate screen showing the 3D world? or can they be combined together? This latter option would be best suited. I would be the 3d window with added control button that a user could click to progress through the world.. Does anyone know where I should start?? Thanks lots, KP __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
