Thanks Don & Mathias --- I've upgraded to jdk 1.4.1, j3d 1.3 and actually the
openGL & directX packages both solved the pointSize problem, but caused another
(less serious from my point of view) problem.
I've got a two-monitor "Radeon 7000" series adapter running 16-bit color
2560x1024 which (oddly enough) only works with Java3D when one monitor is
disabled. I say "oddly enough" because originally, when I was just having the
pointSize problem, both monitors were enabled. Now if I disable one and run in
1280x1024 all's well. Hate to press my luck by asking two questions on my
first day on this list but I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Greg

I realized this problem, too. But since I have changed to the newest
DirectX/JDK/Java3D-Versions the problem is gone. Point sizes and line
widths are working. I am using jdk 1.4.1, j3d 1.3 and DirectX 8.1
Hope that helps
