Furthermore this library has a (tiny) website of its own! (Have a look to http://pauillac.inria.fr/graphps/) It is fully documented and can be used as a replacement of the Graphics module; then your program will generate a postscript (or encapsulated postscript file) instead of drawing on the screen. Get the library at the used place, file graphps-1.0.tgz: ftp.inria.fr/lang/caml-light/bazar-ocaml/ (Caml Light users may find it in .../bazar-cl/graphps/graphps-1.0.tgz) Hence, with Graphps, a program using the Graphics library not only can work without any window manager, but it can even work on a computer without screen! (Not a crazy idea by the way: I've done it once to generate images from home, telneting on an INRIA destop that was running a program using graphps :) The library is mature, but any new idea, remark, enhancement, or, even better, any code contribution is warmly welcomed. Enjoy! PS: Sorry for the late answer, I don't have time to read the Caml-list these days!
