Contents:
=========

The TESSELLATE package consists of three portions; first, an ARexx
script called "tess.rexx", and a CLI command called "tessellate".

Installation:
=============

This PIM is automatically installed by the install-pi script

Use:
====

The PIM will provide you with a choice of triangle edge length.  This
is the size of each smooth area on the final result.  Then you are
presented with the normal area selection panel to identify the area
you want to tessellate on.

Done
----
If you choose Done, the PI module will return immediately to the image
processor.



Possible Problems:
==================

Messages:
---------
If there are problems encountered by the Tessellate module, messages
will indicate what the problem is. These messages will usually appear
in the image processor control panel.

ARexx:
------
If you do not have ARexx installed, this loader cannot function at
all.  The obvious solution is to get ARexx. Here is where you can get
it:

    William Hawes
    P.O. Box 308
    Maynard, Massachusetts
    01754
    
    (508) 568-8695

ARexx comes standard with the 2.0 operating system; if you purchase an
"Enhancer" package for your Amiga, you'll be getting ARexx in that
package.

You also need the ARexx support libraries installed - these are located
on the ARexx release disk(s).
