This is a good example of the new possibilities, I guess, offered by
NG (i.e. a way to get complex graphics with both powerful and concise
coding). Unfortunately, a "normal" user like me cannot really discover
all them by himself, and might be tempted to continue with "old"
direct graphics or, even, to leave IDL.
We then urgently need for a complete NG documentation from ITTVIS!
