Even though I am not exactly clear on what you are looking for, I am almost certain that the answer is yes; and this is probably a simple excercise in graphics primitives (see the MMA book). -- Gerard Fairley: email: gfairley at id.wilder.com ICS: Interactive Computer Support Computer, Physics, & Engineering Services
