Richard, true but i would have to n-tiply the math and time to draw each point (unless i grab it from a predrawn polygon. Extra step). As others mentioned there's also colors - but there is also a variable sized and colored border... And, then how do you do that for a circles? ;) Not efficient for this program... but for a few polygons it's good to know! cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Richard Gaskin > Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 01:53 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: compileIt for revolution? > > MisterX wrote: > > Gordon, > > > > Beware that even i surprise myself with newby tricks. > > > > I just posted a "slow" fractal moire maker.
