Tom,
Thanks for your reply; actually I am making the colorbar a separate jpanel,
for just the reason you list, but am still having trouble with the sizing;
though your remark that it's easy to control the size of things makes me
more hopeful. Mainly my problem is that visad wants to make my color bar a
square, and if I try to make it long and skinny using the projection
control aspect ratio, then my labels get squished as well.

Donna:
Sorry I've not had time to answer sooner. The only things I can suggest
right now (not having had a chance to go thru your Java code) are to
look at how Don did the axes labels (visad.AxisScale), or to put your
color bar into a separate JPanel and just display that along with the
VisAD JPanel. The advantage of the latter would be you would not have
to worry about placing it on top of some "real data"...not to mention
that in your own JPanel, you can very easily control the placement and
sizes of things.
