Folks,
When I first wrote cgWindow I had in mind a simple resizeable
window that could display any direct graphics command or
commands, and save them in any output format. But, using
cgWindow for display purposes only is a bit restrictive.
What I really want to do is interact with the graphics in
the draw widget that is the heart and soul of cgWindow.
To this end, I have rewritten cgWindow so that it is
now just the graphical user interface or "skin" to
the underlaying window object (renamed cgCmdWindow)
that can be thought of as a smart draw widget.
Now I can write my own "skins" or interfaces to the
cgCmdWindow draw widget. I can turn button and motion
events on, zoom into plots, add other graphical elements,
etc. I have all the functionality of the original
cgWindow, plus much, much more.
This is a fairly big change, however, and I am reluctant
to just spring it on unsuspecting users without more
testing. Of course, I know how it is *suppose* to work,
so it never breaks for me. I'm looking for some volunteers
with destructive habits who like to break things. :-)
If you are interested, drop me a note, and I'll send
you the new programs with a short test program that
you can elaborate on as much as you like. Thanks in
advance for your help, and for the many people who
have already sent me bug reports and suggestions for
the Coyote Library.
Cheers,
David

Oh, Hells Bells! That wasn't suppose to happen! :-(
OK, I'm just going to release the new version. I haven't
seen any problems with it, which doesn't mean squat in
the real world. I've included the old version in the
zip file, too, temporarily, in case all goes south.
Sorry for the massive confusion. It hasn't been
a good couple of days for me. A bad omen with
my open water dive certification looming on the
weekend. :-(
You can try it again here:
