Hi,

Thanks to Steve Emmerson, Bill, and others, I have made some rapid
process with VisAD. I'd like to start giving something back by sharing a
little toy application that does a 2D line plot with a shape that moves
along the curve under the control of a slider. I tried to keep it to a
bare minimum. It has certainly been a learning experience for me and
hopefully it will help others.

OK, I do actually have a couple of questions:
1) Why won't the shape appear till after clicking on the slider? (It
worked for me before I "cleaned up" my code. I see the same problem in
some Test programs.)
2) Is there a convenient way to center the text shape thingy?
("center=true" seems to apply only to the horizontal)
3) Is my code a bunch of crap or am I catching on to this thing? Any
comments welcome.

Thanks,
Doug
