Frankly, I´ve downloaded the jpg and it´s a very good picture. Beside his unrealistic rendering, I find it more interesting like that. I will try to add the labels in some appealing way. Once it will be done, either I put the art on my personal web page for a rewieving, either I registers to the wiki and I cope with the wiki´s language to put the picture. As you like. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
