I'm not in kolluge yet and I just learned about linear interpolation today---although I don't think it would necessarily apply to this problem, where the increments set by the grid might be more discrete than the line itself (hope you see what my innumerate self is trying to say!!), thanx for teaching me something new. :) To myself: Gee duh, Theerasak, it make sense now! -- Theerasak -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
