Why you can't even mix fonts in a given heading, and geez no error bars! When I need a plot I save to a text file whip up a little C program and let plplot do its thang. And another thing, Anybody know of a good way to build equations for use in say WN without resorting to eqn ? I miss my Expressionist more and more. And Another Thing, Anybody know how to convert macintosh graphics in an Mac Writenow document for use on my NeXT ? Ive got a couple of important files that need help. BTW- Hitting the esc key sometimes saves the day as an undo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Steve Penton (spenton@ssl.berkeley.edu) < > Center For EUV Astrophysics, 2150 Kittredge Blvd, Berkeley CA 94720 < > < > Warning!

Improv wasn't made to do scientific graphics. It would be nice if it did, but why bother since (if you're in higher ed.) Mathematica was made for that. It plots like a champ! -- Please email -- I'll summarize. Ross Cutler University of Maryland, College Park Internet: rgc@wam.umd.edu
