Ugo,
Many thanks for that tip. Basically it worked (after translation to Jython,
and a little tweaking).

Perhaps what you want is described in:
http://www.geogr.uni-jena.de/~p6taug/visad/tutorial/s4/Section4.html#section4_12
If you display is in a JFrame, then you can also:
jFrame.addComponentListener( new ComponentAdapter(){
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
if(sticky){ // if sticky, VisAD display takes dimensions of
parent frame
Dimension dim = display.getComponent().getSize();//
jFrame.getSize();
int x = dim.width;
int y = dim.height;
double f = (x >= y) ? (double) x : (double) y;
setAspect( new double[]{1,(double) y/f, 1} ); // see
below...
}
}
});
where
public void setAspect(double[] aspect){
try{
ProjectionControl projCont = display.getProjectionControl(); //
display is you VisAD.DisplayImpl
projCont.setAspectCartesian(aspect);
} catch (RemoteException re) {re.printStackTrace();
} catch (VisADException ve) {ve.printStackTrace();}
}
Note the difference between
projCont.setAspectCartesian(aspect); -> keeps proportions
and
projCont.setAspect(aspect); -> squeezes axis (fonts, cross-cursor,...)
according to aspect.
If you have display inside some other component, then use the
appropriate listener.

Hope that helps.
