Will the "office" wall paint be cgColor("pink") or cgColor("blue")? Wait. Maybe you were talking about an extra room for the books. That's seems more likely. Cheers,Ben

:D I don't have IDL 8 yet. I am going to buy the license today or tomorrow. I am looking forward to start playing with new graphics and your library. Thank you for your work and support to the community. Great Job ! Bernat

It's called "traditional" graphics for a reason... ;) Ciao, Paolo > Thank you for your work and support to the community. > > Great Job ! > > Bernat

It's called "traditional" graphics for > a reason... ;) Yes, I couldn't get my book cover designer to use any of the following, more descriptive words: "old", "ancient", "archaic". We finally settled on "traditional." If you want information on how to use the IDL 8 graphics system, you are better off resorting to prayer. ITTVIS wishes to keep this information secret. :-) Cheers, David P.S. It could be that IDL 8 graphics are so internally complicated that no one really knows *how* they work, but I prefer to use Occam's Razor when looking for an solution. :-) -- David Fanning, Ph.D. Fanning Software Consulting, Inc.
