Maybe I should collect some patterns and add them to Jave. I just thought while reading the thread on circles/ellipses, you could start collecting a set of hand-drawn ellipses and circles of various small sizes m*n, which Jave could then store and use for small values of m*n, instead of the ones produced by your algorithm, which you say works well for large m and n. I remember seeing some good circles of 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 (or so) lines in one of the ascii-art tutorials. nice program though! cheers --jon p.s. make sure to ask permission if you do decide to incorporate pre-made circles and ellipses by other people :-)
