With most CAD packages you can draw something in vectors, obviously, but then there is usually an option to write-out the co-ordinates in a generic comma delimited file (instead of DXF or whatever) which you past into your source code. It might save you some work... ... was that what you ment or did you mean you wanted some sort of algorithm to draw them automaticallly? As for displaying them -- I'd use the 2D line function (I think it's called gsline or something like that) it worked quite well for me. Also I have some routines I wrote that draw text using vectors using that line drawing function... you can have those if you like. Jon
