Hi Henry, You have done great work with dissect. Now you are in beta world and this is where you can really shine. With regard to colour; I think that it is really good to use colour as a secondary characteristic for those that can discern colours, but I have found that using shade or gradation is actually more noticeable for everyone whether they are good at discerning colours or not. Some of what Raul mentioned in another post about deeper colours is actually more about the luminosity than it is about hue.
Cheers, and once again impressive work Henry, bob On Aug 8, 2014, at 1:07 PM, Henry Rich <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 8/8/2014 1:08 PM, Raul Miller wrote: >> I have it installed, and I tried it on this sentence: >> >> (+/%#)&.:*: i.3 3 3 >> >> Here are some observations: >> >> That sentence results in a tall narrow graph (on a short, wide laptop >> display).
