Hello all

I am interested in using the Java 3D API to produce map application.
Ideally it would look very much like an atlas style standard map of the
world, a two dimensional picture using colour to show the height at a point.
These heights are to be specified by some function of x and y which I would
know.  I would like then to be able to use the API's functions to do things
like light the map nicely, rotate it and all other sorts of things.

I've been looking at the API stuff on Sun's site and am totally stuck : it
seems to be very abstract and so complicated.  Can anyone give me an idea of
where to start with this -- what classes I should be interested in etc.  If
anyone has written anything similar some sample code would be fantastic!  I
can't make more than the simplest changes to the sample code that I
downloaded with the API without getting confused

Thanks in advance for any help
