I suppose it is possible, though I don't know how. I don't care much  
about C#/WPF, since it is platform-specific. Java has not yet become  
such a big player in the 3D Viz market, but since it has GL bindings  
it should be as capable as C++.

Yes. 2D acceleration was a hot topic in the Windows 3.11 days, and all  
GPU's do that nowadays.


Best,
