getGraphics should work. Are you sure that getGraphics returns null. Did you
call getGraphics before adding the canvas3d to the view. I am not sure but
that could also be the problem. Try to find out what exactly is null when
that NullPointerException is thrown.
The ideal place to put this draw code seems to be in postSwap. In paint it
used to flicker.
