<P>
The directory <TT>/usr/share/dx/samples/programs</TT> contains a number
of sample visual programs.
In addition, a set of subdirectories categorize programs by subject
(e.g., 2-D Data, Annotation, etc.).
To start, you may want to look at the programs in the subdirectory
/SIMPLE.
<P>
The sample visual programs listed here can be invoked, like any visual program,
from the VPE.
To access the available sample programs, enter:
<TT>/usr/share/dx/samples/programs/*.net</TT>
in the <TT><STRONG>Filter</STRONG></TT> field (of the
<TT><STRONG>Open...</STRONG></TT> dialog box)
and press <TT><STRONG>Enter</STRONG></TT>.
<P> The macro descriptions are in <A HREF="qikgu026.htm">4.2 , "Sample Macros"</A>.
<P><B>Notes: </B><OL COMPACT>
<LI>For the user's convenience, and where appropriate, some programs
have been listed in more than one section.
<LI>Once a program has been opened, relevant descriptive and tutorial
information can be accessed with:
<UL COMPACT>
<LI>the <TT><STRONG>Application Comment</STRONG></TT> option of the
<TT><STRONG>Help</STRONG></TT> pull-down menu (in either the
Image window or the VPE window)
<LI>the <TT><STRONG>Open</STRONG></TT> dialog box, by clicking on the
<TT><STRONG>Comments</STRONG></TT> button.
