Hi 

>>"The Presentations Package addresses a great many issues of exposition and
graphical output". 

Yes, it makes fairly easier to develop rather complex graphics, saves a
great deal of time, allows for creating reusable pieces of code and makes
the maintenance and modification of working programs more reliable and
affordable. I have got from that package much more than the $50 that I paid.

>>"I believe most of us who use the Presentations Package think it a

standard distribution of Mathematica.

to that effort."

I second that. It would be a great improvement if WRI included either the
David Park's package or the equivalent functionality. In my humble opinion
and from my long experience writing code for graphics, the David's approach
saves time, saves money and renders cleaner code.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I cannot imagine a package that does everything you want for any  
amount of dollars (even Australian dollars). :-)

The Presentations Package addresses a great many issues of exposition  
and graphical output and of course split axis graphs are a minor issue.

I believe most of us who use the Presentations Package think it a  
great value and wish WRI would incorporate David Park's work in the  
standard distribution of Mathematica.

Some of us have lobbied for that to happen directly with WRI marketing  
folks and I hope that more Presentations users will add their support  
to that effort.

This is not an easy process as it appears you have experienced.

In The Mathematica Journal Volume 10, Issue 3, 2007 I recently came  
across your article:

A Mode-Matching Method for Multichannel Scattering Problems by Peter  
Falloon.

As a sidebar it was mentioned that:

" Falloon developed a Mathematica package to compute spheroidal  
wavefunctions, which will be incorporated into the next version of the  
Mathematica system. "

I have not been able to find any references yet in V7. Que pasa?

Cheers ...  Syd
