So for one helpfull soul has pointed this out. I was going to apologize to him, however I felt it needed a net apology. Therefore, I apologize to all of those I was rude to by posting a question that is probably in a manual. I do appreciate the correction because I am new to posting on the net. Thanks. However, programming in X is not our standard practice. It is a one time shot. Therefore, we can't afford to buy manuals for one function call. I probably did not make it clear before that our objective is not graphics programming, it is CFD and I am merely trying to help our lab with a little added convenience. Thanks again for the info, and again I am sorry for being rude to all of the net. Todd

Todd personally, i think that people who told you that you are rude, are rude themselves. your original message pointed out that you do not have access to manuals. since there's a good chance that you also did not have man pages for X online, i thought your question was fair as stated. to all those who will complain about the length of this message: stop being rude! or cut down on your caffeine. you might just be jumping the gun a bit... dlb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ David L.
