Test51 and saving a JPEG from the SpreadSheet both work for me
and I'm running pretty much the same software:
doll% java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-beta_refresh)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-beta_refresh, mixed mode)
doll% uname -a
SunOS doll 5.6 Generic_105181-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
and Java3D version 1.1.2. If you are running 1.1.3, that has
some bugs (high hopes for the 1.2.1 beta due soon).
If you want to dig, the critical logic is in
visad/java3d.VisADCanvasJ3D in the postSwap() method.
It sees the captureFlag == true then gets
'BufferedImage captureImage' using the usual Java3D logic.
I want to help fix this, but since I can't duplicate the
error will need your help. You might try changing Java3D
versions. Note Java3D version 1.1.2 for Solaris is still
available at:
