I hope all of my questions aren't becoming annoying..

I'm wondering why Graphics3D#glTranslatef takes an int parameter for z?
The underlying OpenGL call doesn't..

Not at all! We're happy that you are using GEF3D!

That's a mistake that must have been introduced when the Graphics3DDraw
interface was created. The only call to this method happens in a test
application and the third parameter is set to 0, so I guess that's why
it was declared as int. I fixed it in SVN already.

Best regards
Kristian

OK, I'll replace my fix with yours. :D
