Then you'd be yelling about a >buggy flood fill :) Look, since I didn't explain what I am doing I will forgive this paragraph. Not everyone wants filled in areas as they work. If you are doing animation, you work with line drawings and fill them in later. You want your lines clean, otherwise it looks like it was done on a computer. As I mentioned earlier, there are algorithms for filling antialiased bounded areas. An the least they could have done is given me more bits for the stencil. Running a filter over a line blurs it and this is not the look I want. neil -- Only 3176 shopping days left till the next millenium! Neil F. Richmond INTERNET: celia!neil@usc.edu Rhythm & Hues Inc.
