Using CurveMorph for build jigsaw puzzle

Hi Edgar,

I took some time to think about your request. I would
not use curves or curviers to build jigsaw puzzles.
Your best bet is segmented polygons. You just need to
add enough vertices to make a good curve
approximation.

Then arrange them in the solved puzzle. Give them a
bitmapfill.
Now for each piece do two things.
Set the form of the fill to the picture of the entire
solved puzzle and the origin of each bit fill to the
same point (topLeft of the entire solved puzzle). Now
each piece shows its portion of the puzzle. You can
now scatter the pieces.

Then of course you (or someone else) has a puzzle to
solve.

-----
Why not curves.

The way they are set up now each vertex adds something
to determine how the curves are done. To get matching
edges you would need something new that hasn't been
invented yet in morphic. It's and interesting problem
but I've relegated it to a back burner. It will
require time and inspiration (which comes with time
and chance).

I thank you though for triggering some thought on the
subject.

Cheers and joy -- Jerome Peace
