I have a patch which adds that functionality (it mis-uses the "hole" flag to indicate that a polygon isn't drawn, and uses it to clear away other polygons... made vague sense to me at the time, its a "hole" in the polygon, but perhaps I ought to make a new flag if this feature were ever merged) -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
