I tried the setBackdrop on the Display3D, but it didn't work quite right.
If I use setBackdrop(image, true), it renders the graphic as a sphere.
If I use setBackdrop(image, false), it gives me an error.
(java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Width (-1) and height (200) cannot be
<= 0)
I actually want the image to be at z=0 and want it to be able to rotate.
I tried creating an ImagePortrayal3D object and using setObjectLocation as
mentioned below but that did not display the image.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ryan

There's already a method for it in Display3D:
public void setBackdrop(Image image, boolean spherical)
