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

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?

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,

Sorry. I was thinking of something else at the time. (Blush)
