I've also seen Don use a trick in which he replots an image with a one-pixel clipping path. He iterates the clip over the entire target bitmap, and calculates the non-linear transform (such as perspective) for each corresponding source point. Of course, the more pixels in the destination, the more computing involved, since the picture must be rendered once for each pixel. Think of this as painting the original picture through a one-pixel screen. Woody, do you remember what Don calls this hack? Ken (shiva@well.sf.ca.us)
