without a problem, and I know other people have as well, with no complaints,
so it works.
I found very limited help online for getting started, but the grammar is
pretty simple for just drawing stuff. The Adobe site
(http://www.adobe.com/svg/basics/intro.html) has some good basic
information, and then I pretty much just worked from the W3C spec
(http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/). Unfortunately, Freehand doesn't seem to
think SVG is worthwhile enough to be able to export it, but oh well.

Barney,
I have the SVG plugin plugged in, but have not used it.
Any chance you could point me at some examples, tutorials,
etc. The application I am building will be running on an intranet
so the 2 meg plugin size is not a downside. I have all the required
dimensions already being saved into a database so your idea
sounds like just what the doctor ordered if it can print as well as
display.

You might look into SVG. It's an XML-based vector graphics plugin,
somewhat
similar to Flash. However, since it's all XML, it's a snap to generate
with
CF. My company uses it internally for graphing and plotting all kinds
of
stuff. The only downside is that the plugin is over 2MB, but that's a
one
time cost.

Subject: Drawing diagonal lines
I am using html and CF to dynamically draw rectangular wall modules
based upon user input. I am using a scale of 1.5 pixels = 1 inch. I
really
would like to come up with a way of displaying the roof slope as well,
but have been unsuccessful so far in drawing a diagonal line that I
can display on the screen as well as send to the printer. I failed in
my
attempts to use dhtml layers as it displayed properly on the screen,
but
printed incorrectly.
If anyone could offer some suggestions I would appreciate it.
