Hello, to improve a bit the look of pic generated pictures in software documentation I like to have an additional attribute for boxes. With slanted boxes e 3dimensional look should be performed. To see what I mean, please have a look at the attached PDF file. It was generated: .\" playing with gpic ---------------------- .PS box move box slanted -.1 color "yellow" outlined "black" move box move box slanted .1 color "green" outlined "black" .PE

.\" /playing with gpic ----------------------
The current implementation is simply using an x-shift value given by the
attribute slanted.
I'm not sure if this is the best way. Another possibility would be specifying
a slant degree. And I need to specify maybe slantwise the y-axis.
Any suggestions to this topic?

Heinz
