Hi Murray,
Both _GraphEdit.m_ and _JavaGraphics.m_ packages are part of Mathematica
standard installation.
_GraphEdit.m_ is said to "render graphics with V5 front end," and
contains two functions: *SetGraphics* and *ResetGraphics*. The usage
massages read, respectively:
"SetGraphics[type] sets the type of graphics cells generated by graphics
commands. \"type\" may be \"SymbolicGraphics\", \"PostScript\", or
\"Compare\"", and
"ResetGraphics[] restores the display function used before the GraphEdit
package was loaded."
According to the *ReadMe.txt* file located in the packages directory:
"This directory contains files called by version-specific init.m files.
Most of them set up the correct mode for display of graphics on
different machines. [...] JavaGraphics.m : send graphics to Java
window."
Best regards,
/J.M.
