Alejandro also has a few bezier manipulation examples. Just look for
filenames beginning with 'bezier'. All of this work is very useful to us.
I wish RunRev would adapt some of this into the drawing tools in the IDE.

Alejandro has don
That is something I didn't know about, and it could be of use for reshaping low
count polygon. I have complicated tight fitting curves, and the reshape feature
shows that as hundreds of anchor points, reshaping it gives me lots of spikes.
If I made a curve out of straight lines, that might get m

Yep. It I thought you wanted to script it ;-)
Once upon a time there was a polygon editor. I don't know if it's still around.

I did mean an image in LiveCode, but the workaround is to take the image into
Photoshop, and Illustrator and do the careful tracing there, and to optimize
the curves and so on.
It would be nice if LiveCode had a way to adjust a graphic you've made.

Ok, I thought you meant an image in livecode. Of course vector graphics import
would be much better.

You got your answer already -- Alejandro's EPS import stack is how I would
do it. But I might offer a suggestion: if you plan to scale the vector
"snake" at all, you would do well to store the original point description of
the graphic at a somewhat large-ish size, in a custom property for example.
I think I'm ok now, using Alejandro's EPS importer.

How would that then be changed to the points of a graphic, without requiring
thousands of points?
I'm going to give SVGL a try (http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/112/SVGL),
that may be a way to solve things.

You could parse the alphaData of the image and find the boundaries.

That should be "extremely likely you would make a mistake"

How can you make a graphic be the exact shape of an irregular shaped image? For
example, say you had an alpha transparent background image of a snake, and you
wanted a graphic control that was the same shape as the outline of the snake,
how could that be done?
You could oh-so-carefully draw the
