Re: [Visualpython-users] Placing Graphics Output on a Printer

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

What you see in the documentation is all you get. If you don't find what you 
want, it's because it doesn't exist.

As mentioned in the documentation, you can use full Python Unicode strings in a 
label.

The documentation for graphs says this:

"Every gdisplay has the attribute display, so you can place additional labels or 
manipulate the graphing window. The only objects that you can place in the 
graphing window are labels, curves, faces, and points."

Can you say in more detail how you find a broken link in the documentation? I 
don't find the broken link you report.
