John, Do all the backend devices or libraries we *need* now support compound paths (1) at all, and (2) in a consistent enough way to solve the contouring problem as well as to make something like polygon collections more efficient? I guess this is really part of a larger question about the degree to which the various graphics drawing models have converged with a rich intersection of capabilities, including arbitrary text rotation, precise text positioning, arcs, bezier curves, etc. Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
