Eky - yes I saw what Ross was saying with join shapes.

I wasn't sure how Shokan drew the shapes when I originally looked at the image he posted, as the 'grass' shapes are cut off by the edge of the bitmap. But having another look - looks like Ross is right.

When I originally read what he said about one shape with overlapping elements I thought he might have done what I mentioned before. Oh well nevermind.

BTW when I said this:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Ross I think this is what is happening, maybe by flattening Shokan was refering to using lots of different overlapping shapes and then joining them into one shape ... not too sure though.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

What I meant was this:
Ross I think this is what is happening, maybe by flattening Shokan was refering to using lots of different overlapping shapes and then adding them together into one shape ... not too sure though.

Using the wrong terminology there.
