I had to do something like you're describing recently and here's how I did
it. If wireframe is not selected the geometry is drawn solid. If it is
selected, then the wireframe is drawn. I hope this helps...
Appearance base_color = new Appearance();
base_color.setMaterial(base_mat);
if (wireframe)
{
PolygonAttributes polyDraw = new PolygonAttributes();
polyDraw.setPolygonMode(PolygonAttributes.POLYGON_LINE);
base_color.setPolygonAttributes(polyDraw);
}
