Or do you mean "with as a cartographer" that there are a lot of GIS applications which currently use something similar?

When I saw your post, the amount of code required for the other method seemed to be similar. So that probably won't make a difference. 5) I forgot to ask: you mentioned that your book will "first" be available in german. So will it be available in english later? And can you provide a table of contents for the book? I can't find one on that website. >andré > > Jeroen Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
