Hi,

I've been trying Java 3D 1.6.0 / JOGL 2 with an onscreen Canvas3D instance then, with an offscreen JCanvas3D instance, but didn't notice some performance difference on my iMac. Aren't onscreen canvases supposed to run faster (i.e. have a higher frame rate)? If yes, in which case? If not, isn't it better to always use offscreen canvases in a Swing program to avoid mixing heavyweight and lightweight components?

Thanks for your recommendations...
