You did exactly what you should have done in the circumstance: walk away, get
something to eat, and let your mind recharge!  I am happy to hear that you
got things working on your own as this will make things easier for you in
the future!!

Fantastic!

I will take a peek later today to see what I can see.  By the way,
what is the website that should be populated with the generated
images/graphics?

No worries.  I am glad you figured things out on your own.  Other than my
comment about things being easier for you going forward, I need to do my AMS
presentation today, so I am just about out of time for much else (I agonize
over writing papers and doing presentations :-()

All's well that ends better ;-)


Cheers,

Tom
