I don't see how you can derive the normal vector from three points to give G2 and G3 a meaning. You would have to raise an error in cases where the three points lie on a line. G16 appears to be available for setting this mode, and even makes sense as the "zeroth member" of the set. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
