The SunPHIGS 1.0 release comes with some decent documentation. In
addition to the Reference manual there is a user's guide to SunPHIGS
which explains how SunPHIGS interprets features of the PHIGS standard
and goes onto give examples using both the C and FORTRAN bindings. The
thing I liked about that was the consideration given to both the
standard and the implementation. The doc. set is available
independently but costs $150 (Sun really knows where to make money :-))
