Oh well. I copied it and joined the two paths (Which reminds me: If I want to make alterations to a path symmetrically, is there an easy way to do it or do I have to figure out what the reflected coordinates would be? No, never mind, I will ask that in a new thread as the red text tells me to). Just thought this might help / interest somebody. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
