David,
Sorry to hear of your woes -- however I readily found the file
under "Advanced Visualization" and when searching under "revolution",
"object", "graphics" and "object graphics". I can't speak to the
tutorials since I haven't tried them.
Other than the difficulties you mention, what's your opinion of
"Revolution"?
Bill

I seem to be having a GREAT deal of trouble finding things
related to this program. I'm trying to do the 2nd Tutorial
and the directions call for me to "download the file
tutankhamen.dxf from our web page". Which web page is this?
I can't find it on the ITTVIS web page and I see no other
reference to a "web page". :-(
And where is this program, exactly, in the codebank?
I got it by following the above link, sure enough, but
I haven't been able to find it by searching the ITTVIS
web page, and I didn't find it in likely categories of
the Code Bank.
I asked my Tai Chi teacher why he doesn't advertise his
little, out-of-the-way studio. He just shrugged. "The
students we want always find us." I didn't realize IDL object
graphics had this same spiritual side to them. It makes
sense, I guess.
Cheers,
David

Sure, the link is http://www.ittvis.com/codebank/search.asp?FID=473

I'm not doing too well with it. So far, I have:
1) Violation of good IDL programming practices -- requiring a .COMPILE
before .RUN
2) I get this error message for some unknown reason:
% FILE_MOVE: Unable to expand wildcards in file path, or file does not
exist: /tmp/\tempundo.sav
% Execution halted at: SCG_OBJECTGRAPHICS_EVENT
% WIDGET_PROCESS_EVENTS
% $MAIN$
3) After the crash, the only way to kill the widget is to .RESET the
IDL session
Ick.

Humm. Well, I just when to the ITTVIS web page and typed every
single one of these terms into the Search box and didn't come up
with a single thing that said "revolution" in the name. What is your
secret?

My current opinion is that it is devilishly hard to find!
I haven't been able to form any opinion whatsoever of the
software yet, however.
Cheers,
David
