Hi Timo,
If you are looking for a one-to-one correspondence between data samples
and onscreen pixels, that is a bit tricky. However, fitting the data
aspect to the shape of the display window is not as hard.
You are not the first person to request such a feature in VisAD, so I
added a method setAutoAspect(boolean auto) to DisplayImplJ2D. If you
call setAutoAspect(true) on a DisplayImplJ2D object, the aspect will
automatically adjust to fit the window every time the display panel
changes size.
The updated classes should be available on the FTP server within a few
days. In the meantime, you can find the two relevant files at
http://palm.ssec.wisc.edu/DisplayImplJ2D.java
http://palm.ssec.wisc.edu/VisADCanvasJ2D.java
Just put these two files in visad/java2d and recompile.
