Re: [JAVA3D] Swing flicker issue ... fixed for me

[Kasparian, Raffi J.]

This is very valuable information. It solved the problem for me too. The flickering in my programs was sometimes so bad on certain computers that the GUIs were unusable.   Thanks,   Raffi     -----Original Message----- From: ZACZEK, MARIUSZ P.

And this was even when I was NOT animating anything....it was so crazy that even zooming, panning or rotating (basically envoking those behaviors) caused flicker issues. This flicker would result in the swing display constantly swap between the normal display and what appears to be the display of the previous state....in text fields for example I'd switch 0.0 to 5.5 and the flicker would cause the text field to swap between 0.0 and 5.5 constantly.   ANYWAY,  this page gave me a solution to this problem: http://mindprod.com/jglossflicker.html   Basically they say do the following:     Java.exe -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true MyClass   Which turns off DirectDraw and instead uses the standard Windows GDI rendering...   Well, it works so I'm happy.      Mario Mariusz Zaczek NASA - Johnson Space Center Automated Vehicles and Orbit Analysis / DM35 Flight Design and Dynamics Division Mission Operations Directorate Bldg: 30A     Room: 3040A Disclaimer: "The opinions, observations and comments expressed in my email              are strictly my own and do not necessarily reflect those of NASA."
