This evening I sat down at the IRIS to start learning to use the graphics
library. On page 1-5 of the "Graphics Library Programming Guide" is the
program "red.c" which I typed in verbatim:

#include <gl/gl.h>

main()
{
        prefposition(100, 500, 200, 600);
        shademodel(FLAT);
        winopen("red");
        color(RED);
        clear();
        sleep(5);
}

then I compiled with the command line in the manual:

% cc red.c -lgl -o red

And tried to run the result:

% red

I noticed that if you leave out the call to "shademodel" the program works
as advertised.
