This is really old news (from 1998).

Takeo's algorithm indeed was the original source for Squeak's  
implementation. IIRC the first Squeak version was done by Alexander  
Lazarevic (U of Magdeburg) while interning at Alan Kay's group. You  
still had to draw an outline, which later was refined by Andreas Raab  
and Jana Hintze (U of Magdeburg at internship again) to allow drawing  
an image with automatic extraction of the texture. Impara's  
implementation in Plopp is more robust as outlined in their ESUG  
awards application, and indeed impara even acknowledges Takeo's work  
in Plopp's credits.
