How long will it take to learn Gri?
Most users can get Gri working after spending half an hour with manual (see Q2.1). Familiarity with your operating system (for example for viewing PostScript files) will speed this somewhat. After that, it’s best to learn new features only as you come to need them. To begin with, you should skim the manual and the cookbook (see Q2.3), looking just at the illustrations. This will take no more than an hour. The Gri manual is like most computer manuals: it would be a waste of time to read it cover to cover before starting to use Gri. But you’ll find the manual helpful as you branch out, modifying the existing examples and inventing code of your own. Learning how to use a new command usually takes only a minute but realizing that the command exists can take longer. That’s why many users with sophisticated needs find it useful to spend an afternoon leafing through the entire manual at some point. Most things in Gri can be done elegantly or crudely. The elegant approach may require a little
