Re: [JAVA3D] ? Java3d and Palettes ?

Mario -   I may not understand the question, but I don't think there is anything special about what you want to do - just create a JFrame and add whatever components you want, swing or J3D, or whatever, and it may positioned independently from other frames. It will have some dependence on the supplied parent frame: I think this just makes it "hide" when the parent frame is minimized. Most of the applications I have written work the way you describe. You are correct about swing, I have to look it up every time I do it, but you need to once make a call that affects the swing rendering so that drop down menus and the like will appear correctly over the J3d canvas. a quick search on swing in this group archive should give you the exact call you need.   Matt -----Original Message----- From: ZACZEK, MARIUSZ P.

Have any of you built an interface that looked like Photoshop which contained free floating palettes and included a Java3D window?   I know there is capability to have multiple windows floating within a main window (don't recall the name of this... maybe "desktop"), but I'm looking for something where the windows are all free floating and not inside anything else...I know there a lightweight/heavyweight issues here and mixing in Java3D is probably going to slow things down.   If anyone has done this can you give me sample code and tell me if the java and java3d interaction slows things down?     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."
