The values are typically in a linear or near-linear increasing ramps. linear. increasing. typically. :) (i assume non-linear would imply a curved set as opposed to going up then down then up again in value for example - so it may be gamma-corrected thus implying non-linear (curve)). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
