OK: Stop button is officially on the TODO list.
A backwards redraw would be nice, but I don't see an
easy way to handle it in the code. The LDAO modeler
can be useful here: you can set it up to only draw
lines that are highlighted in the editor, or specify a line
in the model from which to start drawing.

| (...) Great! I just ran into another problem. The "Continuous" checkbox in the Options does not work. I wanted to view Karim's AT-AT and have it auto-rotate, but quickly found that the continuous feature wouldn't work. -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
