I echo the sentiments of the tortoise lovers. I switched from PC to Mac a little over a year ago. Prior to the switch, i had been using tortoise as my subversion client. It just flat out WORKED. Since I've been on the Mac, I've tried SC plugin, RapidSVN, svnX and now zigVersion. I'm continually disappointed. I hope that tortoise is developed for the Mac, it would make my life so much easier.

It works well with a shape that has only one boundary. What if I have two circles, one inside of other and a pixel is picked between two circles. In this case, there’ll be 2 paths , one for inside circle and one or outside circle. The algorithm seems only generates the path for outside circle. Andy, very nice tutorial.

It's part of CF Lite. Nice. :-)

The article, entitled How to implement a magic wand tool, goes into thorough discussion about the algorithm behind the magic wand tool. Andy then goes on to walk you through (with great explanation) all the Cocoa code that gets this to work. I found the article very interesting in two regards. Firstly, I’ve always been amazed at the Magic Wand tool. It seems so impressive and so complex. Now I finally see how to implement it, and it’s surprisingly simple in the scheme of things. Secondly, I found Andy’s approach at the tutorial to be a great model for future tutorials I plan on writing. His work seemed well thought out and well presented. If you ever have wondered how the Photoshop developers made the Magic Wand do its thing or just have a fascination with Cocoa, be sure to check out Andy’s tutorial.

For WP 2.1 and higher this must be "wp-content/pluggable.php". 2) Plugin does not work if directories of a blog and of WP installation are different, i.e. WP has not been installed into a root directory. Instead of "get_blog('url')" in pollpress.php must be "get_blog('wpurl')". Bug report
