isDirtyField() is just a convenience flag that can be set by YOU to indicate that your data has changed. MASON never touches it. What you need is to be told that MASON has changed what it's displaying (in terms of scaling or scrolling). This is easy:

public boolean somethingChanged(DrawInfo2D old, DrawInfo2D new)
{
return (old.clip.getX() != new.clip.getX()) ||
(old.clip.getY() != new.clip.getY()) ||
(old.clip.getWidth() != new.clip.getWidth()) ||
(old.clip.getHeight() != new.clip.getHeight()));
}

Now when you create a new buffer, store the buffer and also store the DrawInfo2D you had received. When you get a new draw request, compare it against the new DrawInfo2D as shown above, and if "something changed", update the buffer and store the new DrawInfo2D instead.

Also: if info.precise is true, I would not buffer, but rather, I would draw directly and bypass the buffer entirely.

Something like this:

The display is working very well at the moment (in no small part due to the help I received), but constantly redrawing the graph is putting a heavy load on my system. If I remember correctly, Sean suggested caching the graph as an image and redrawing that instead, since the underlying data never changes. This should give me a nice boost in performance.

There's a tutorial about displaying an image in a portrayal in the MASON How-Tos (https://cs.gmu.edu/~eclab/projects/mason/docs/howto.html#display2d), but I can't figure out how to store my graph as an image in the first place. There must be a way to rewire the output of my portrayal class to draw directly into the image. Any help would be much appreciated.
