I'm sorry this comes so late in the process. I had hoped that the new

subauthors contributing willy-nilly...
Yes, I agree that this would've been very useful a month ago! But it is
what it is, and I really like the layout you came up with. I'll fix up the
TOC we have and merge in parts.
At least the book has sections on the graphics modules, and the quick
overview chapter.
Next revision, we really need to pick a graphics plotting package and make
sure that all OSes have one click support for that package. I'm happy with
any package, just so long as we all work on the same one.
If the gnuplot bindings come to fruition (i.e.,
work on win32, too) then we should finally have
a common, available publication/plotting package.
Similarly, the Prima graphics work should offer an
interactive option and TriD and the underlying perl
OpenGL module will be reworked to support more GUI
options including, as the baseline default, Prima.
If the new PDL::NiceSlice engine support can be
finished for the PDL shell and other string eval
type applications, we should be doing very well.
