Thanks, That is indeed what I'm after. I seem to have dropped some words in my initial note. Maybe I can do better with the note editor in WinCIM. Anyhow, my goal is to remove a "blue" background from a foreground object. Blue, however as seen by my video camera -> frame grabber -> Animator Pro is really many shades of blue. Sep w/ time works well, but I'm wearing out my mouse, index finger, and eyes doing the cleanup. My thought was to initially draw a user defined box and scan it storing unique pixel colors in an array. Then for each color in the array, I would call sep and save my fingers. I am doing this primarily to try out POCO. After a little success, I forsee some routines that will automatically isolate foreground elements from a blue background. I have also been trying to write a POCO that will pull a difference matte (shoot the scene with the character and without) and "subtract" the background away from the character. However, the pixel colors drift so much that I will need a very "forgiving" difference routine. Hmmm??? Any news on 24 bit color from Ani Pro ? I must say that I am very pleased to see "C" (seesee) as the Ani Pro macro language. My day job is to write windows and OS/2 programs so having a "C"-terp feels good as I plod along at home late into the evenings… To whoever is listening, It would seem to be a good thing is all of the functions in Ani Pro could be invoked via POCO. In most 4GLs the language is crippled, thereby limiting what can be done. In Ani Pro, the language is robust, but some core product functionality is blocked. It would seem that it is much easier to add function on a firm foundation, however, so I'm not going to whine… Perhaps someday, the Ani Pro user interface would be a POCO (easily extensible) and every thing that could be done in the product would be "C" callable. The 4GL yardstick. Can you build your entire product user interface from your 4GL ? Great Stuff, I can't wait to see what's next… Oh Say Can You "C" ?
