I agree they continue to improve with every release, but I am still too
gun-shy to adopt them for serious work. Sounds like we talk to different
people about function graphics. I run into few people who use them,
and those that do almost uniformly complain about how slow they are.

But, I hear fewer complaints about how they appear on the display. Most of
the problems now appear to be in creating file output from them. Lines
that suddenly grow to 10 times their normal size, and that kind of thing.

I should probably spend some time updating this page on contour
plots for IDL 8.2.1. I'd be curious to see how much things have improved
in both functionality and speed:
