multiple instances of GLCanvas in a single container (Swing)

Is it possible to do this? I'm using Netbeans as my IDE. I'd like to have, say, a grid of 6 (or more) GLCanvases on a single JPanel. They don't necessarily share context, and they are not just different views of the same scene.

I've been searching the web and can't seem to find any tutorials. Any suggestions?

Hi

This looks like what you're talking about, 3 GLCanvas instances inside a single JFrame:

I think it is possible to do it without Ardor3D.

Thanks for your reply! That thread was interesting. So I'm guessing it should be possible in Swing then. I'll keep searching for more clues...

You can put several GLCanvas instances inside a JPanel. By default, the JPanel uses a BorderLayout, you can use another one if you want. You can use one animator per canvas (maybe this option does not work) or do active rendering like me.
