May I refer to the same manual you want to print? The Ideal reference manual states in section 3.3 Including files: ... The following library files are available: arc, arrow, circle, dash, rect, and wavy. Also note in the Ideal User's Manual: This generalization of the simple boundary statement is the most recent addition to ideal. It avoids treating circles and their sectors and segments as special cases, and makes opaqueing circular arc polygons much easier. My guess is that v. Wijk didn't update the manual according to this new situation, since he had the obsolete stuff lying around anyway. So change the code for the example. --jaap
