Re: center of rotation for three-d views?

Hi Donna,

The center of rotation for mouse rotations in a DisplayImplJ3D
should be the origin of 3-D graphics coordinates. That is,
(0.0, 0.0, 0.0) in (XAxis, YAxis, ZAxis). However center of
your object may not be at this origin. It depends on the
explicit or implict (auto-scaled) calles to setRange() for
your ScalarMaps to XAxis, YAxis and ZAxis.

Good luck,
Bill
