this is a generic PHIGS book, not a vendor product description
not sure of the correct name,
IBM's graPHIGS reference manual (for their mainframe and workstation
implementations of PHIGS)
one of their manuals (can't remember which one) is a fairly generic
intro. to PHIGS which describes
fundamentals more than it does implementation specifics of their
graPHIGS. It is very well written
and I think very well organized (I am a formed univ. prof. who used to
teach undergrad graphics).
Maybe you know afriend who works at a place that uses graPHIGS. herzog@dogwalk.Sun.COM (Brian Herzog) (02/04/90)

Template is no longer part of Megatek. I believe it is now known as TGS, and makes Figaro, a version of PHIGS available on several vendors' platforms (although I'll balance that "plug" with a note that Megatek now uses SunPHIGS ;-). 2. And, as has been previously noted in this group, the above book is out of print. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Herzog "Badges?
