I dunno whether that's ideal, or whether David Luff > would be interested in pursuing it. As I said: In a branch of the TaxiDraw CVS I am working on some generalisation of the TaxiDraw GUI exactly with the target of making it easier to extend TaxiDraw with new features such as logical taxiway networks, rounded edges, taxi signs or whatever seems useful. The approach is a bit more modular and the goal is that such extensions are possible by adding a single class for each new map object type. Unfortunately this is quite a big chunk of work and I haven't gotten to working on it recently. I had wanted to do at least some more general documentation of the design approach for somebody else to join, but I don't even get enough time to do that (or when I have time I'm not exactly in the mood for writing docs ;-) ) Cheers, Ralf ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
