After having discoverd no more than five percent of their features, I
find the iTools really useful for creating a quick plot where I can add
annotations, change axis ranges, arrange multiple images on a page etc.
easily. Also, very importantly, I can print with a mouseclick (and
adjust the size on the paper interactively) rather than using ten direct
graphics commands to create a plot on the screen, starting over again
ten times till all parameters are correct, then switching to the PS
device, repeating my 10 commands, checking the file in Ghostview and
finally printing from there. Also, you can save your data along with the
plot in an .isv file, which I find useful.

By the way 1-- I have received only one tutorial so far, and that's been
three weeks ago. Did they forget about me?

By the way 2 -- I managed to get started on iTools with the iTools
User's Guide, even though it's not very clear at the beginning what
Windows, Views, Visualizations, Data Spaces etc. are and how they are
connected. The tutorial(s) definitely help to get started.

Cheers,
Benjamin
