Thanks for the error message and stack dump.

The error message indicates that you are calling getImage() from
an AWT callback, which is illegal. Please put the call in a new
Thread. You can see and example in visad/ss/FancySSCell.java, in
the captureDialog() method. This makes a new Thread (Runnable)
that calls BasicSSCell.captureImage(), which in turn calls
getImage().

Good luck,
Bill
