I tried to do it with separate DirectManipulationRenderers for each
node.
The result is really very nice and can be seen together with the code at:
http://www.jgrass.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/HowItIsGoingWithVisad
The problem isn't even performance, the loading is not very fast, but
once loaded it works very well. The real problem is once again memory.
After about 3000 nodes the adding references to the display sucks more than
1.5 gigs from the pc and brings everything to freeze.
Any idea?
Cheers,
Andrea
