gl question - editing large objects

[Brent L. Bates AAD/TAB MS361 x42854]

   I never use the object commands (until recently, when it was the
easiest way to do things and then it only had transformations in it).
The way I read the manuals the object commands were kept for backward
compatability and would be slower than just executing the drawing commands.
   I use mainly FORTRAN, but, this is what I do.  I store the information
in arrays and use do loops, etc. and plot the information.  If you
change the array information you don't have to do any object edits.
   I suppose in C it would be easier to  create data structures that
would make things easier, but I am still a novice C programmer.
