Re: printing

Hi Igor,

You can use the DisplayImpl.getImage() method to get a
BufferedImage of the display contents, then create a JPEG
as in visad.ss.BasicSSCell.captureImage(). Note that if
you do this from a GUI callback, you need to wrap the code
in its own Thread, as in visad.ss.FancySSCell.captureDialog().

To print display contents, see the javadoc comments to
visad.DisplayImpl.getPrintable().

Good luck,
Bill
