In those examples, it would have been most helpful with an arrow pointing at the 3 points, calling this one the origin, that one the destination, and the last one by whatever radii or desired location for the mid-point is being described. It might not hurt to clarify that there are arguments that need to be used besides the I/J/K stuff. My confusion largely stemmed from the fact that I couldn't mentally fit 3 the different x/y locations (6 vars) to fully describe the move within the 2 arguments the examples previously were showing. I am all for concise, if its clear, but that didn't fit 'concise' with those goto X/Y from here arguments completely left out of the previous description. >On 6 Nov 2009 at 11:17, Gene Heskett wrote: >> Greetings guy's; >> >> I cannot seem to get my head wrapped around the math for this. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
