I pretty much only really used that app once, and may never need to use it again as it stands. But, I may have a similar need, which could be accomplished with a generalized version of it. Same "load a floor plan" but just wander around the rooms marking locations of things, like outlets and Ethernet jacks. This could be accomplished pretty simply with gimp, but I can imagine some tweeks that might make it better. like auto panning to keep the image centered near where I am standing (not really sure how it would know... right click maybe...) The UI input is outside the scope of FC, but perhaps an smooth scrolling feature would be nice: SmoothCenter(x,y,rate) or something would pan/zoom from the current view to a new view, but smoothly, and as a process that doesn't disrupt the event loop (so like a thread. maybe even a thread. if you think you need a real thread, look at stackles. ) Enough about this now - I'm full of ideas, I'll try to filter out the crap :) Carl K _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mithis.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
