Oh, oh. It doesn't bode well for New Graphics routines when
customers start to write simple systems of their own
to make traditional (there is a certain reluctance to
use the word "old" around the office here) IDL commands
work the way they ought to.
The fact that you can make old, uh, traditional commands work
well in a week or two of work ought to tell you something. :-)
And here I was yesterday smiling when my wife came home.
"What are you smiling at, dear?," she asked me. "I just
realized I know how to make my new alternative graphics
commands work in resizeable graphics windows in a way
that will blow everyone away," I answered.
Life could get interesting. :-)
Cheers,
David
