I forgot to add one more item to my list of potential/desired enhancements of GeglBuffer and that is to make the extent (width and heights) of the buffer be updated on demand when tiles are changed, allowing automatically growing buffers that are "auto-clipped" to the bounding box of content that differs from the configured background color. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.
