We are getting closer and closer of what I said a few messages ago:
Graphics is working not too bad and, even, might be quite useful
(after correction of some flaw as, for instance, the COLORBAR
function).
But the present documentation is so poor that we have to experiment
for each keyword, for each called function, before to find the right
statement. It is unacceptable!
Exelis MUST correct the situation as soon as possible.
