| | | | | | (...) Yeah, it sounds quite similar. Rosco's tx2dat program also uses the Shewchuk triangle library. Do ya think maybe it's about time to finish "publishing" your ldeco utility? I did a quick search and apparently you first promised to make it (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

Even if bricksaic converts it to the ldconfig colour pallette, I imagine the colours output by autotrace will still need to be converted (...) (20 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
