Thanks for yout response ! The process you describe is what I did to produce the graphic you see in the picture
What interests me is to;
1) find a way to keep your filter's window open while performing multiple strokes.
2) in the long run, assuming I attain competency in creating a plug-in, and can evaluate the feasibility of the idea, I'd like to run some kind of batch multi-stroke operation based on parameters I supply. I am an accomplished C# programmer.
It may interest/amuse you to know I was one of the authors of Cricket Draw 1,1, and later, at Adobe, one of the authors of Illustrator 3.2, and 5.0, as well as one of a team of four who created the prototype for what became Acrobat. My specialty was PostScript.
That was a long time ago, and, now, I'm just another old bum, retired, happily, in Thailand who designs rings as a kind of hobby=business, and who mentors other programmers on CodeProject
cheers, Bill
