The cache is per cursor, and simply stores the last N desired visited locations.

Have you tried it? I have. Currently, giant (>5000) areas are rendered
in 3D using marching cubes and it works great.

java.awt.Shape is an interface. That shouldn't cause any problems.
java.awt.geom.Area, java.awt.Rectangle, and others, are in the
java.awt package but have nothing to do with the GUI awt classes. They
can be used cleanly.


You may want to give it a second look and run some tests.
