Use the javax.media.j3d.J3DGraphics2D class to do this, as
documented at:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/forDevelopers/J3D_1_2_API/j3dapi/index.html
Get it as:
DisplayRendererJ3D dr = display.getDisplayRenderer();
VisADCanvasJ3D canvas = dr.getCanvas();
javax.media.j3d.J3DGraphics2D g2d = canvas.getGraphics2D();
You might want to search the java3d-interest mailing list
archive for information about J3DGraphics2D.
Good luck,
Bill
