I don't really like > that. A new API (possibly based on the selection API ?) might be better. Indeed, I don't like having 4 controls for specifying a rectangle as well, it doesn't just sound right.

But it could be just (left=x, top=y, width=1, height=1). -- Regards, Sylwester -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
