Brendon,
      I chatted with your student in the AMS, and he reminded me this ticket. 
      In the latest nightly release, there is no API to change the time zone 
before capturing the image.  The syntax is very simple and easy to use. 
The attached is the isl and test bundle I created to test this new feature.

Let me know if you see any problem.  


<displayproperties 
display="class:ucar.unidata.idv.control.ContourPlanViewControl">
            <property name="DisplayListTimeZone"  value="EST"/>
  </displayproperties>
  <pause/>
<image file="${islpath}/test1.png"/>
