I think you are right Sam. Is it time to put both methods in the 2.5.3 builds, and give us a switch variable to use one or the other in our .ini files? Sounds like a heck of a good way to get some quality beta testing time from more people without forcing us to pull the repo and build it from scratch. I'd sure give it some exercise given some warmer weather. > On 12/10/2013 05:33 PM, Robert Ellenberg wrote: > > On Dec 10, 2013 6:25 PM, "sam sokolik" <sa...@empirescreen.com> wrote: > >> cool - the only thing is that the internet.ngc I don't think has any > > > > arcs... > > > > The algorithm detects close-to-tangent line segments too.
