Hi All (on both lists), I suspect a context switching problem, or some similar conflict between java 2D and 3D rendering. I am not sure, and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Description of problem - I have an application that has a Java 3D Canvas (using Xj3D) to display the main data and a number of other panels (swing and java 2D) in the same window to display the controls and "metadata". Up until now I had very good performance. I have just added a large JPanel, enclosed in a JScrolPane. I draw onto the JPanel with java 2D, and scroll around the panel programmatically (no automatic scroll bars). If I have either the Java 3D Canvas or the large JPanel (about 4000 characters with coloured blocks behind them), the performance is good. If I have them both, then the frame rate drops to 1 frame every few seconds. It is the Java 3D canvas that is taking the time. Am I doing something wrong? Is this unavoidable with large java 2D and java 3D objects at the same time? See http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/~hmorgan2/context/index.html for a picture, and possibly some more info if I think of anything else that needs saying. Thanks for any help, Hugh PS. I know the obvious way to solve this is to only draw the bit of the JPanel that is seen and dispence with the JScrollPane, but I would really like to know the reason for this problem. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
