You caught me at a time when I'm up to my neck in alligators, but I'm pleased to give it a try. > How would I define > these rectangles for usage with the pixel method? Define them relative to the image to which they apply. Use the Rev way to represent rectangles (left, top, right, bottom); see the rectangle property. I think the Rev origin is the upper left. Consider this to be a pair of points or vectors. Represent a list of rectangles as a rectangle in each line. > I still havenīt been > working much with custom properties, and I think I still donīt get > the idea. Others can better advise you. Pseudo-code: Every image has a list of subrects such that they (typically) do not overlap and they approximate the shape of the picture in the image. Two images overlap pictures if their rectangles overlap and they overlap internally. (Test that "their rectangles overlap" first and return false if false.) Two images overlap internally if any subrect of the second, converted to the coordinate system of the first, overlaps with any subrect of the first. (Optional: ...and the two subrects have a pixel overlap.) The subrectable of one image converted to the coordinate system of another image is its rectangle with each corner increased by the offset of the second image to the first. The offset of one image to another is its reference corner less that of the other. (I think the corner is left, top.) Two rectangles overlap if the max of the tops is less than the min of the bottoms and the max of the lefts is less than the min of the rights. A subrect of one image and the subrect of another image have a pixel overlap if... (left to later; needed only if optional part above is used) I hope this helps; it seems to be more pseudo than code.
