The pattern I am working on has a lot of fine detail that is pretty close to
the edge. The large diagonal edge on each side is giving me some trouble...
Just using one trapezoid from the top edge corner to the bottom (taking up
the whole diagonal) is how I did the last torso I did, but this one the
detail is too close

So I did a little trig...

x         y
14.345000 2.000000 Torso edge top pt
19.000000 29.000000 Torso edge bot bt

4.655000 27.000000 Differences

slope 0.17240740740740700000 (obviously excel ran out of precision there!)

Some possible intermediate points:

Given X         Get Y
15.276000 7.400000
16.207000 12.800000
17.138000 18.200000
18.069000 23.600000

(these seem the most obvious intermediate points since the ratios aren't
particularly friendly... 4655 factors as 5 * 7 * 7 * 19 which has no common
factors with 2700 except 5)

Are these acceptable approximate intermediate points? I realise that this
may cause some apparent holes/rotation flickers at high magnifications.
