Also possible.  You can use java.awt.BufferedImage to create an image.  Then ImageIO.write( ) or something to write to a jpg.   and is it posible to display a layer with predefined style?? There is an add Layer Interceptor extension point which allows custom code to be ran when a layer is added to a map.  You can use that to set the style on your layer. i would like to run this from a button in the toolbar so i made a plugin folowing the intructions provided in udig tutorial... for now that button is an actionTool and i want the action to open the output of my simulation... Shouldn't be very hard to do this.  I am very often on the freenode.org#udig IRC channel.  Feel free to contact me and others on that channel to chat with us.
