- Hmm, how to answer such a question?
-
- I can't say whether a person in the U.S. Government wants to "develop
- the use of PHIGS and GKS." I also can't say if a person at SGI is
- "searching for a PHIGS to put on top of its GL library".
-
- I can say, however, that Template Graphics Software has been delivering
- FIGARO+, our enhanced implementation of the ISO/ANSI PHIGS standard
- with both C and FORTRAN bindings, on top of GL for years. In fact, if
- you order PHIGS from SGI, you get FIGARO+.
-
- By the way, we also deliver FIGraph, our charting and graphing two-call
- toolkit, and FIGt, our intrinsic toolkit for PHIGS/PEX, on top of GL.
-
- So, if you want the usual marketing literature, just send a note to
- info@tgs.com. If you have technical questions, drop a note to me,
- joes@tgs.com.
