That's also the case here. But unless you give us some details :about the plug-in you are writing, I can't tell which way would be best :in your case. And I am not going to waste my time explaining all of :them. What I'm writing is straightforward- it's a linear (i.e. one-dimensional) unsharp mask. (I'm probably not the first to do this, but it's a good learning opportunity, and it confirmed my hunch that it would work better against motion blur than the standard version). The line is supposed to illustrate the angle and size of the convolution. I didn't give any specific details, nor post my code, because I assumed that- once explained- the problem would be a general one with a straightforward answer. At the time, I thought it was easier to use the standard example, which was cleaner and simpler than my code but still illustrated the point. I apologise if it sounds like I'm making a big deal of this, or that it's a major hurdle; it's not. For a one-off, it would probably be simple to write a crude pixel-based line function myself. But it would be silly to keep doing this every time *if* there was already a simple way of using the existing facilities. Anyway, I'll tidy up my code and post relevant parts here soon. In the meantime, thank you for your help. - triffid@xxxxxxxxxx _____________________________________________________________ Get your FREE OiNK-Mail ---> http://www.oink.co.uk Adopt an animal today and help support wildlife conservation ---> http://www.adoption.co.uk The Rainforests.
