Thanks...no, It's more of a hand drawn thing in that "filling in" colors in
cells rows and columns gives you the appearance of a "line" that can bend
right angles...but I've see output there the "caps" if you will on the
corners are rounded...I think they must be hand drawn somehow...I just can't
figure out how the "color" is filled in only in the drawn area....hmmm. If I
come up with a better was to present the problem I'm trying to solve...I'll
repost. Thanks all.
