Brett, As I understand this issue, the problem lies with bugs in the java.awt. I have posted messages to the Java 3D and awt-dev lists hoping to revive the discussion and ultimately find a solution. http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/awt-dev/2014-December/008787.html http://forum.jogamp.org/Java3D-stereo-td4029914.html Best, Unidata IDV Support > Hello IDV support, > > I am a longtime fan of idv, and have frequently used it for > stereo-immersive rendering of surfaces via Windows PC. I recently > downloaded version 5.02 of idv, and found the stereo feature no longer > works. I have used the same procedure as in prior versions, that is, set > enableStereo=true in the idv.bat file. My older version (idv 4.1) continues > to work well in stereo, so I am not sure what has changed. I did find in > the recent archives that IDV support stated the following: > > "...the enableStereo information is passed to the J3d layer and not > much control > in the IDV interface." > > Is this broken feature an obscure java 3d issue? > > For the time being I will continue to use 4.1, but would of course like to > upgrade if stereo can be fixed for 5.0 > > Thanks for any additional information or suggested fixes. > > -Al Hermann > > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MKR-443485 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
