Hello listeners,
I'm not sure if this will help, but here we go:
The java.awt.headless property (since JDK 1.4.2) can perhaps be used. I
quote:
Q: "...I find that when I run my application on Solaris or Linux it
needs an Xserver.(...)"
A: "There are two possible solutions. For releases prior to 1.4 you can
provide a "pseudo X-server" to emulate a display environment One of
these X-server emulators is Xvfb, available for download at www.x.org.
The preferred solution for release 1.4 and later is to use the new
headless AWT toolkit
<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/AWTChanges.html#headless>.
This new feature allows you to use the J2SE API in a server-side Java
application without requiring you to have a GUI environment.
To specify the headless environment when using Sun Microsystem's
reference implementation, run your application with this property:
-Djava.awt.headless=true
[http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/2D/forDevelopers/java2dfaq.html]
Never did this with VisAD, but it might work. Well, it's a nice thing to
know anyway.
Cheers,
Ugo

If I create a JFrame and make it visible, then the off-screen
render works, i.e. if I add these two lines before the getImage(true)
call:
new javax.swing.JFrame().setVisible(true);
then, the program runs to completion.
Does VisAD *require* a visible component
in order to do an off-screen render?
