If there are variables contained in it, I can see that getting difficult to work around for someone not knowledgeable in java, if you must configure it manually. Please post also the comic on that page in a comic format: with only the cells that are part of the comic and not the character by character drawing. Do you happen to have the html color table handy (ok so I AM lazy) it would be nice to have a reference color-to-code chart to pick the color from. Artifacts: The earlier discussion on removing them ended with you hiding the cursor, might it be better to just have an option to "remove tool and cursor" from the output? That way you can still have a jmov showing how a pic was made and for nontutorial animations JavE can just strip that information out. -- _________________________________________________ /| _____________________________________________ | //| | _ _ _ _______ _____ | | // | | | \/ \/ \\__ __\ _ \ .irc.bluedwarf.net.| | //__| | | \ \ \_ \ \ __/ .www.bluedwarf.net.| | \\ | | | \__\ \ \\ \ \ | | \\ | | |_____\ \__\_____\___\ -=MikeChat=- | | \\| |_____________________________________________| | \|_________________________________________________|
