Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
I have a 3-D surface that represents the number of documents associated with a particular word stem. A green blob hovers just above the surface and represents a stem of interest. I would like the blob to hover just above the highest peak and move to the next highest when the tab key is pressed. If shift-tab is pressed the blob moves to next higher peak. This is illustrated at http://www.wizards.dupont.com/Equinox/images/word-category-map-window.gif the Java source is at http://www.wizards.dupont.com/Equinox/equinox.jar My question is, how can I intercept tab/shift-tab key presses when the graph has focus so I can in-turn move the green blob? I tried adding a KeyListener without any luck. I also checked out the VisAD examples and did not see any that react to key presses. Thanks in advance for any help.
