Well, it doesn't change unless the grid spacing or zoom changes, of course. I'm not sure wheter that counts as "on [its] own" to you. And, of course, it's not clear my HID will ever make it into the main tree at all, so it may be totally moot. At this point I'm thinking of this HID as being primarily for my own use, so "confusing the user" is now very me-specific, regardless of other users. It's entirely possible I'll agree with you once I start using it for more than testing. And, in any case, it'd be easy to add a configuration switch to control it. > Now, if your gui *always* drew, for example, a line every 5 grids and > dots (or tics) every grid, and then omitted the dots when the lines > were too close, and switched the 5-lines to 5-dots, that would be > less confusing, because the visual representation when you "skip" > grid marks is different. Hmm. That's a good idea. Thanks for suggesting it. (I still think I'd want to switch to "all lines all the time" when the grid spacing in pixels gets coarse enough...I'll have to try it out and see how it feels.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
