Jeff,
I'm impressed. I expected lout to be up to the task, but I couldn't
imagine to see almost all of my wishes fulfilled. Great job! I only hope
lout 3.13 will be out real soon.
A few questions though: could you include an example of including an
arbitrary cell *background*, lets say an EPS file? Can one tile this kind
of background? Also is it possible to do some fancy shadowing around the
borders? If so, please include an example.
I expect this (besides tiling) to be trivial questions, but it would take
quite some time to figure them out on my own. I imagine that I'm not
standing alone herein.
Many thanks! Lout will soon be a core member of my toolbox.
CU,
