Hello,<br>
<br>
Like you noticed, the graphic objects are cached, (the
createGraphics is only called once).<br>
You must see the rendering engine very much like a 3D scene graph.<br>
There is a root node which contains other graphics and so on, so the
createGraphics can return a single Graphic which contain several
children graphics for each radar.<br>
The graphic builder takes the MapLayer and the J2DCanvas in
parameter, this allow the graphic to attach a listener on the
MapLayer and update his graphic children when needed or recreate
it's children each time.<br>
<br>
The canvas can be repaint at any time using :<br>
getCanvas().getController().repaint();<br>
<br>
You can choose to repaint only on events or use an external thread
to repaint at regular interval.<br>
