I still use it sometimes, although I also write programs in PostScript that do
not use the graphics, too (PostScript is useful for programs with and without
graphics). I still think it is good, although some improvements could be made,
which I mentioned in my message.

If you do not use the graphics API, how do you think would be improvement, if
you want to use graphics, then?

There are a few good ideas, though, which is why I have mentioned some of them.
