/* I've been looking at your POCO routines. I'm impressed! It'll be nice to have more POCO routines available. There are very few now. */ I moved this to the Animator Pro forum… 🙂 Thank you very much! /* I think POCO would be used more if it had functions for all AniPro comands. When I first tried POCO I found that I couldn't Stretch a cel, for example. I didn't even look at POCO for months after that. It's really a shame because it is so easy to use! */ Stretching a cel is not as intuitive as accomplishing other cel manipulations in the CEL pull down. Turning, moving… all internal functions, but stretching involves optics stuff… and a lot of folks don't know about pointers and structures requires to use OPTICS.H. That's not straight forward stuff for the novice C programmer. /* Do you have a routine that does a Cel-Clip? */ We have a number of routines which do various types of clipping. I was hoping to get some response on FRAMSCAL and CSPRAY before I uploaded more goodies though. We have one particularly useful one called CELROT which achieves some incredible images. I also thought I'd upload CRATER, a bump map for creating moons, asteroids, etc. Neat stuff. And I just barely mentioned the image browser to Nik yesterday… a windows/IPAS (type interface for ANI… oooooohhh! 🙂 /* Have you tried doing inks? I would like to know what's involved. */ You mean have I created new inks? Not yet. Full control over ink specification and application, but I haven't created an ink yet… I don't think Mark or Greg have either. -dave
