I'd over-ride:
public void setCursorStringVector()
in your extension of DefaultDisplayRendererJ3D (method
actually implemented in DisplayRenderer), call getCursor()
to get the cursor location, and call:
cursor_geometry.setCoordinates(0, cursor_verts);
with a new array of cursor vertices based on location. You may
need to set an appropriate capability in cursor_geometry to
be able to call its setCoordinates() method (see the Java3D
JavaDocs for more info). Also, remember to call:
super.setCursorStringVector();
in your over-ride of setCursorStringVector().
Good luck,
Bill
