Well, Alain, why don't *you* write about it! :-)

You are probably one of the few users who understand it.
I'm happy to give you free reign to write as many articles
as you like and post them on my web page. I'd like to have
some positive articles about function graphics to balance
my own experience with them. (They don't lend themselves
to the type of scientific work I've been doing lately,
I guess.)

This offer goes to anyone who would like to write an article.
You can find an article template here:

Cheers,

David
