Hi Andreas,

This started as a practical artifact. I'm building an audio editor in a 
time-frequency domain based on the ideas from my thesis (all the stuff 
is at my page). And I could not start programming in Morphic without 
cleaning it first. This was the beginning of all my Morphic cleaning 
efforts, about 3 years ago. As I worked in Morphic I started to feel the 
urge to fix the problems I saw. I spent so much time thinking on them 
that I started to find better solutions to them, like general non-linear 
coordinate systems and modeling images as continuous functions that 
honor the conditions of the Sampling Theorem, to get proper anti 
aliasing simply via sampling. So, now, it's grown into both a research 
project and a practical artifact.

WRT the rendered, I still haven't started writing it. My last published 
image uses Balloon for rendering. (BTW, thanks for Balloon!) But, as you 
know, Balloon can not handle non linear coordinate transformation and 
images modeled as continuous functions. I don't know of any rendering 
engine that would suit my needs. So, I need to write a new one. Of 
course, if you or somebody else tells me about such renderer I'd be 
really happy to use it.

Cheers,
