Folks,
Long weekend. :-)
But I just checked in all my changes and new programs to
support device independent, color model independent,
graphics programs with "traditional" IDL graphics commands.
I now have replacements for the following commands: Plot,
Oplot, PlotS, Surface, Shade_Surf, Contour, TV, and TVScl.
You can read about the new commands and see some examples
here:

This was a bit harder than I anticipated. Especially the
new FSC_Surf program, which is a wrapper for both Surface
and Shade_Surf. I had to dig deep into the Surface chapter
of my new book to figure out what was going on. And then, when
I thought I had it all figured out, I tried to do a
multi-plot and yikes! I had surfaces all over the damn
place! Suffice it to say, my back hurts tonight. I didn't
plan to be sitting in front of a computer for this long!
In support of these programs, I made changes to TVImage,
TVScale, FSC_Colorbar, PS_Start/PS_End and probably a
few other programs I have forgotten about. What I'm saying
is that this might be a good time to update your Coyote
Library, if you are interested in giving these programs
a try.

I don't expect they are completely bug free, but they
have already saved me some time creating figures for
my book and my web page. I like them! I expect some
of you might, too. :-)
Cheers,
David
