Hi Bob!

You can display dots using a PointArray geometry.  With this you can have as
many or few dots as you want.  You can also change the size or color by
setting the appearance of your point array with setAppearance( myAppearance
= new Appearance ()) then changing the PointAttributes with
myAppearance.setPointAttributes( new PointAttributes(...)).

Good luck,

Chris

Subject: [JAVA3D] Simplest dot.


What's the best way to display a point in Java 3D.

I think a small sphere would be far more complex than
I am looking for.  I just want to put "dots" all over the place that
look like "dots" from any orientation.  And I don't want the
number of dots to degrade performance.  So I am looking for a
very "simple" dot.

Closest I've come to what I want is to make a Geometry
with only 2 vertices very close to each other and to
render it with a Line type appearance.

Is there some way to specify just one vertex?  It throws an
error when I try to specify just one vertex in the geomtry.
