If the color bar doesn't work, the graphics system
doesn't work, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, come
on, we are trying to do science here!

I'm still not sure it is possible, two and a half
years after this system first came out, to compare
two images side-by-side.

I literally spent three hours yesterday, trying
to create a simple contour plot (which no one
has yet helped me with, probably because it is
impossible to create). So, clearly, these
things are not "intuitive". And, to call the
documentation "abysmal" is to be WAY too
generous.

I really don't know what to make of people telling
me these things "work well". What, exactly, are
they doing with the damn things!? It makes me
feel like an idiot when I can't get one simple
thing to work without literally spending hours and
hours trying to figure it out. You'd think it was
the remote control to the TV the way I struggle
with it! :-(

Cheers,

David
