    "Cylindrical Alignment App" is the successor to "Cylindrical BLAST Viewer". This newer version (codename: "Metalograde") is using an updated look, as well has having been ported in two new directions. The new directions are JavaFX and NetBeans platform.

    JavaFX has been attracting talent (according to some links I have seen) from Java3D for some time. As a project directly supported by Oracle, it is not so forgotten as Java 3D. At one point, actually a few years ago, I found that I could not run this viewer on a later version of Mac OSX because of a minor sticking point with Java3D.

    I have also bundled adopted the use of NetBeans 8.2 platform. NetBeans brings with it a host of features simply for the effort of the conversion. These include instant installers for 3 popular platforms; nice windowing and serialization features; a notification backbone (Lookups); and support for windowing and menu actions.

    In addition, I have bundled the JRE with an installer for each of the three popular platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).

    Finally, the look of the cylinder has changed significantly. I have added multiple color-turning algorithms for score-based coloring. These include "Rust", "Leaden", and some primary-color blending algorithms. I have ideas for more features, but would like to hear from users about what is most important.

    Recent re-examination has shown me that the Cylindrical Alignment App had serious problems with its mouse interactions. I have just fixed that in code, but not yet released any changes for download.

    Had I realized this earlier, I could have addressed it any time over the last 3-5 years. If anyone is using the viewer, please provide feedback.

    Thanks

    I have added some features to the latest upload:

    • Light background toggle
    • Ambient lighting toggle in case high specular highlighting causes saturation and white out
    • Mismatch-only residue dentils switch. Sparse is better if it makes differences obvious.

    I am also doing code cleanup as I see things. Since 2017 there have been innovations (and learning on my part) in the Java programming language.
