Re: SelectRange performance

Hi Doug,

I'm not surprised at the time to reorganize topology. Do
you have texture mapping disabled? That really slows down
images, and especially if topology needs to be reorganized.

However, you should be able to avoid the SelectRange
mappings by using clipping. See visad/examples/Test35.java
for an example of clipping to the unit (x, y, z) cube by
six calls to DisplayRendererJ3D.setClip().

Good luck,
Bill
