<p class=MsoNormal>I am developing a Java Swing application to animate 2D and
3D drawings. I am embedding a JPanel which houses a vtkPanel. The
vtkPanel is derived from AWT component Canvas. However, my application is
in Swing and I’d like to automatically animate my application without any
flickering of the image. My application should be able to start, stop,
and continue animations. What would be the best way of going about
this? Is it doable in Swing?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here is some of the code that embeds the VTK drawing. The
drawing renders fine. I just want to be able to animate it. Note: vtkWindow
is a JPanel that I created in NetBeans:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
VtkPanelUtil.setSize(p1,vtkWindow.getSize().width,vtkWindow.getSize().height);<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
vtkWindow.add(p1);<o:p></o:p></span></p>
