The point of these routines is to work with resizeable
graphics windows in a "natural" way. I've actually
been thinking about some ideas for eliminating these
keywords all together. If you type a command, it goes
into a resizeable graphics window just like a normal
command goes into a normal window.
But, I really haven't had 10 minutes to just sit and think
for the past couple of days. (Except for those occasional
showers, when my wife comes home from work and is
alarmed to find me still in my pajamas.)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say I really don't see the point in getting
"dressed" at 7 o'clock at night. :-(

I have an interesting variation on this idea - rather than
complicating all the routines more, or having to update all of them,
why not create something akin to ps_start and ps_end that puts the
intervening cg* commands into the buffer then displays it all at the
end.

No, you haven't missed anything. I came to the same conclusion
earlier today. Just haven't had time to implement it yet, as
I'm trying to get a book mocked up for the printer. Like so
many other things, this is *suppose* to go smoothly. Sigh...
Cheers,
David
