I wouldn't call it a hack, since any code that does what you
want will have to make this calculation. The only question is
whether that code is encapsulated behind some simple API.
There is no such method that I know of in VisAD, so you'll
probably have to code one yourself. You can use the make_matrix()
method of MouseBehavior (get the MouseBehavior from the
DisplayRenderer, which you get from the DisplayImpl) to
convert a translation into a matrix, then use MouseBehavior's
multiply_matrix() method to combine it with the matrix you
get from ProjectionControl.getMatrix(), and pass the result
back to ProjectionControl.setMatrix().
Good luck,
Bill
