Yuan & Julien -- Fantastic! There is "just one more" area -- the user wants to be able to control the fonts for...well, everything. I think mostly we just need to expose some controls to the user, since the "default font" does not present itself "good enough". Keep up the great work!! tom p.s. I bumped into one of our scientists at the airport when I was going to the PolComm meeting. His take on "publication quality graphics" was that none of the generator applications (IDL, Matlab, IDV, etc) was good enough -- instead, he creates the pictures and then uses gimp to put on the labels "just the way I want them". His philosophy is that he might make a hundred pictures while doing his research, but he needs to pick just 2 or 3 for publication, so he's willing to take "the extra few minutes" to use a real graphics program to produce just what he wants....which is not necessarily what "some program" does. Interesting perspective, eh?
