I think I may have been too hard on iTools. :-)

I spent a couple of minutes poking around with PostScript
output this morning, and I was pleasantly surprised by
the quality of the output (I was using iPlot.) I thought
it was quite good. I think the little Print Preview interface
could use a bit more work (I lost one of the handles when
I dragged it outside the window trying to get my plot
to fill up the PostScript page), but that is an annoyance
rather than a huge limitation. But the representation on
the page was very similar to what I was seeing on my
display.

I'm still not optimistic about scientists being able to
write their own iTools (you can't believe what a struggle
I am having here to introduce a couple of widgets into
their lives!), but maybe if enough functionality is provided,
they can be useful.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say I'm not ready to give up my position
as Chief Curmudgeon of the IEPA just yet, but maybe in a
year or two, when some of the younger members are ready. :-)
