Well, I agree that there's a learning curve, but that's true for all plotting/illustration programs I've used. What I found, though, is that the learning is rewarded much more in Mma: once one figures out how to make the plots look good, any number of them can be generated entirely automatically from any number of datasets. Reporting on new experiments then becomes a joy rather than a chore. > > I do have two questions from this: > > 1) How to write a graphic directly to a file as an EPSF file, > without going through the Copy/ConvertClipboard step? > (I suspect I could RTFM on this, but maybe someone can say > immediately). Select the graphic and "Print Selection" to an EPSF file. -- _______________________________________________________________ Harald Berndt University of California Research Specialist Forest Products Laboratory Phone: 510-215-4224 FAX:510-215-4299 _______________________________________________________________ ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
