- SimHacker 13y ago"Surface positioning" -- especially when you want a USER INTERFACE to let human beings position the "surfaces" instead of automatically positioning them algorithmically -- is an extremely complex, open-ended problem that's too general to write a "plug-in" interface to cover. The best you can do is to "plug in" an extension language like JavaScript (or PostScript ;).
