Naively speaking, I would think it would be rather simple to use a
better rendering engine for DGs. And the fancy anti-aliased OG's (that
I use through iTools), may look nice on the screen, but produce
disjointed plots when printed out.
Still, I do not complain. I love using iTools.
And my original point was the surprise of seeing iTools in a non-ITTVIS
commercial application.
Cheers,
Mirko
