Why? What does that buy you apart from breaking the generality of Envelope? Envelopes are neither bounding nor boxes so the subclass is broken by semantics. Then you want to extend that broken concept to handle a new axis of a totally different kind, exactly what the parent class was designed for!? ... it boggles the mind, really. I cannot fathom what's so confusing about Envelope that it could lead to this kind of thinking. --adrian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
