Hi Bruce,
Java2D display components extend JPanel, so theoretically they should be
lightweight. It should be easy enough to test in your application.
I am not sure to what extent Java2D display rendering efficiency can be
improved--Bill or TomR might have a better idea. But I am fairly certain
it would be a significant undertaking to do so.
Is it really worth it just to have an MDI application? MDI is not that
useful, in my opinion. My VisBio application based on VisAD instead uses
several windows which are tied together through a window manager class
(e.g., when the main window is minimized, child windows are hidden,
etc.). Java has pretty good window event notification, so it should be
possible to keep child windows from getting "lost" without too much hassle.

Does the same restriction hold for the 2D display? I originally
switched to using the 3D display because it rendered the graphs much
quicker than the 2D. Might it be possible to optimize the rendering
of the 2D display?
