Re: object reference for strings using gsn_scm_contour_xxx

Hi Adam,

My understanding, from Example 9, was that this method should be avoided
where possible due to resources being reloaded and slowing things down.
HOwever, I don't have too many resources set so it shouldn't an issue.

I just assumed that there would be a way to change the gsnRightString
resource in the same way the title is changed in Example 9.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

Regards,
Sarah
