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.
Hi Luke, If you are using a DisplayImplJ2D that will be much slower than a DisplayImplJ3D for zooming and I recommend switching to DisplayImplJ3D. VisAD's zoom performance is determined by the performance of Java3D, which will be quite fast with a graphics accelerator like nVidea. The long term advantage of VisAD over other systems is the generality of its data model (it can handle any numerical data) and its generality for distributed computing. Good luck, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
