PHIGS is a draft 3D standard, and PHIGS+ is a industry proposed
extension to PHIGS. The PHIGS package I use is FIGARO, from Template Graphics
Software. I have not used it extensively, so I cannot give you a comprehensive
analysis. It is written in FORTRAN, and the language bindings are a problem.
The SUN F77 compiler is implemented in C, so your can get around it. Sun
seems to have endorsed the product as it features in their brochures for the
CXP series of workstations. The number for Template is 800-428-7588.
