Hi Donna,

Actually, disableAction() and enableAction() do have an effect:
they make sure all your data are transformed into scene graph
depictions during the same call to DisplayImpl.doAction(). The
delays you are still seeing are the times to transform each
data object. However, there is a way to get the depictions to
appear nearly simultaneously (delays are only due to the speed
of Java3D rendering the scene graph depictions, which is much
faster than transform into scene graph depictions). The code looks
like this:
display.disableAction();
drmap = new DefaultRendererJ3D();
drimage = new DefaultRendererJ3D();
drmap.toggle(false);
drimage.toggle(false);
display.addDisplayListener(this);
display.addReferences(drmap, maplinesRef, maplinesConstantMap);
display.addReferences(drimage, imageRef,null);
display.enableAction();
Plus a method:
public void displayChanged(DisplayEvent e)
throws VisADException, RemoteException {
if (e.getId() == DisplayEvent.TRANSFORM_DONE) {
drmap.toggle(true);
drimage.toggle(true);
}
}
Note the class of 'this' must implement DisplayListener
and must include declarations as class instance variables:
private DefaultRendererJ3D drmap;
private DefaultRendererJ3D drimage;
I have attached an updated version of visad/examples/SatDisplay.java
that incldues this logic.
Good luck,
Bill
