Very nice indeed. You don't have any images in aspect 8x5 that don't include the window decorations? ;-) (Yes, I'm lazy!) > It took about a minute and a half to parse, sort, and render with about 98k > spheres. I'm afraid it'd take me considerably longer, since I have to first get all the software compiled and installed and then I'll have to read up on how to generate the graphics. I suspect the latter will take a long time since the closest I've ever come to rendering something is watching Elephants Dream. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
