Hi John,

There are no convenience methods for changing the line
thickness in these features. However, you can extend
DefaultDisplayRendererJ3D.java and override its
createSceneGraph() method to change the Appearence
used for the box. You might also be able to override
its drawCursorStringVector() method (defined in
DisplayRendererJ3D) and change the Appearence used
for AxisScales. Let us know if you need to make
variables or methods public in the extended classes.

Cheers,
Bill
