I have an RSS feed to my web page, where I announce
program updates, new articles, etc. but not very
many people have subscribed to it. I've been thinking
about how I should go about getting the information
out to more people. (Coyote Library programs are
updated frequently.)
I suppose I should be tweeting this information!
I guess I'm going to have to find some 12-year-old
kid to set it up for me. :-(
Cheers,
David

I'm trying to programmatically save figures from a cgWindow display and I'm specifying an absolute path to cgControl, Create_PNG=MyAbsolutePath. cgWindow promptly ignores my absolute path and saves to my working directory with the same filename specified in MyAbsolutePath. Is this by design or am I using it incorrectly? Thanks.

I try to stay up to date (last update was 2/15/12)... I updated today and it fixed the issue. Thanks, David.

I think it is because you are not using the latest version
of cgWindow. :-)
