I was on vacation when I found some statistics that would allow me to
make a population pyramid for Russia that I could put on my website.
I thought I would do it in postscript; then I remembered reading in the
Icon graphics book that I bought that Icon can output .gif files.
Fine, sez I, I'll just do it. And I did. I had to figure out how to do
the stuff I needed and play with it and other things, but I got it to
work.
Just save the file and it is a .gif, and I can use the full X font
specification to get any font I need!
Wonderful. I am now a happy camper. I should even be able to
superimpose one pyramid on another. I love it!
Thanks Icon.
