Your assumption is correct. I have thought about doing what
you want, because I want it too. However, there are some nasty
details and I just haven't had time to attack this problem.
One work around is to turn the box off using
DisplayRenderer.setBoxOn(false), then to create your own box
using a ScalarMap to Display.Shape. You'd also need to figure
the right values for setRange() to (-1, +1) to get the range you
want in your custom box. Axis scales would be tricky, although
Don Murray is working on something new for them.
Cheers,
Bill
