I am a Direct Graphic user. 1) Will RSI, sometime in the foreseeable future, discontinue support of DG? 2) Could you recommend a couple of books to bridge the gap between DG and OG? Thanks in advance, Mark

I am beginning to come to the conclusion that *someone* needs to put together a web site that will cover "DG -> OG and back in a hurry" in great detail. I even have an idea who that someone might be :-) Cheers, Pavel

I even have an idea who that someone might be :-) Maybe SOMEBODY should PAY SOMEBODY to write a book explaining IDL object graphics to the uninitiated. I mean, what is the point of building up this huge and expensive software package and then not bothering to provide even a rudimentary tutorial? -- Colin Rosenthal Astrophysics Institute University of Oslo
