I am a newbie to VisAD. I am trying out one of the first examples with a slight
modification. I am trying to render the image off-scrren, that is write out the
image to a file. I tried a bunch of things but could not get it to work 
completely.
The image is written to file, but apparently it isn't complete. Please find the 
code
below. Appreciate any help. (Also, please CC your reply to 
rsm0001@xxxxxxxxxxxx).
sincerely,
Ramesh Mantri
