Yas, I have often wondered about programs that would take Mathematica plot output and allow improvements to be made on the plots. What programs are available, what will they do for you and roughly how much do they cost? How well do they work with 3D graphics? Are they worth it? One of the things I don't like about Mathematica 3D graphics is the poor rendering. There are often extra lines and spots that shouldn't appear in the graphics. Do programs like Illustrator solve these problems? When I look at some of the sample 3D plots on the WRI web site, they look as if they had been run through an auxiliary program.

Alternately, you can use Prolog and Epilog to render graphics in order, in Mathematica, which should convert to EPS accordinly. But I have only tried this once or twice and I think I came to the conclusion that it was more a hassle than anything. Yas On Fri, 2 Jan 2004 Mattiephly at hotmail.com wrote: > Hello.
