This has certainly been my experience. For example, I wrote
a very nice direct graphics contour object that gives the
user complete interactivity with menus and forms, etc. to
display the graphic in any form they like. The huge advantage
of a direct graphics contour object (aside from the obvious
one of no contour labelling in object graphics) is that
printing and saving the file in various formats is trivially
easy.

Cheers,

David
