Hi Guys,

I am trying to code an interactive visualization application using
Java, however, since I never use Java3D before so I would wonder for my
application, is that possible not use Java3D?

My application will look like similar to the Cone visualization in MS
Excel, it requires visualization like:

The user should be able to rotate the visualzation (change its view
point), select one object (a color cone), or delete one cone, etc.
Since this will be an office application, not any fancy game, so
special lighting, walk-through, etc., may not needed.

I looked through the Java3D guide, of course, Java3D can do it pretty
well. But I need to learn it (painfully I may say, for a beginner). Can
Java's java.awt.Graphics class do my job well? Or I have to jump into
Java3D for it?

Thanks a lot and have a nice holiday.

PS: it would be nice if anyone can point out a code snip of a similar
visualization as shown in the above url. :-)
