Hi;

I would be interested in any recommendations that anyone may have for a
good book(s) on programming with Phigs.  I have a number of users who have
a fair knowledge of programming in either FORTRAN or C and some knowledge
of graphics in general but are asking for something that would tell them
how to do things with Phigs.  The manual sets we have are pretty good at
documenting function calls and the general use of how a particular function
works but don't offer much in terms of a overall introduction to Phigs itself.
If you have had any experience with any of the books which are out there on
Phigs I'd appreciate finding out what is good or bad.

Thanks ...

Robert Schneider
