  I'm writing a game in which the game board is comprised to hexogonal tiles.
Each tile will be an object, TTIle, which is a subclass of TPicture.  My
problem is in putting these tiles together.  Because the tiles are 6 sided,
flat sides on bottom and top, there are 4 triangles of white "dead space".
Thus, when one tile is layed down and to the right of the first tile, the
second tile's "dead space" covers the first tile!

  Does anyone have any ideas on how to place these irregular shaped PICT's
down without them interfering with each other.  Thanks.
