I will post that tomorrow, but what it does is pick the two control pointed needed for the curveTo() method. Based on the configuration of the solver it can generate control points which could render 4 points into a circle or a square. In other words it is a useful utility class, but probably no

DirectX 8.x interfaces dont like 24-bit mode display modes for windowed operation, iirc. its generally safer to stay with 16 or 32-bit modes. using the debug runtime and capturing debug output ( either with a debugger or a tool like at sysinternals.com ) can help track things like this down. t
