I've put up a simple page at
http://www.ece.umn.edu/users/arvind/tutorial/tp4.shtml
Its not very fancy, but I will be updating it as I get the time.
Hopefully, what I've written there is correct, please send me your
feedback, both on the page as well as the latex code.

yeah, I tried it out with a couple of machines myself. It looks pretty
bad on linux (not alternating bands of colors, but bands rather than a
smooth blend), and pretty good on windows...

yep, learning by example is something I too find easier to do than
reading a manual. The link in your next mail was pretty a pretty good
example of this.
