> Quite often, rotations are implemented as modifiers to existing shapes. > That is, a rectangle rotated by 45 degrees becomes something like: > <45 deg rotation><data structure for rectangle>. Interesting... This would affect how much space that would be required for storage and archival. That is, I assume the data <structure for rectangle with rotation always included> would be larger that the <structure for rotation> + the <structure for rectangle> but smaller that the <structure for rectangle>. Thus this proposal would result in smaller data bases if most rectangles are not rotated. Conversely, this proposal would result in larger data bases if most rectangles are rotated. So the application would determine the best choice here. Isn't that usually the case? Charles Brown charles%hpcvca@hplabs.hp.com
