If you crop to the exact start and end points, you'll have cropped the document's raw information down to the proper minimum co-ordinates... *but* if that line had a 30 pt stroke applied to it, the line corners (as it's now more of a rectangle) would "render" outside of the now-cropped areas. So, rendering has to take place before cropping, or the cropped data has to be rendered on an a larger area than the minimum co-ordinates found in the data? -Bop _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
