Thanks all for the reply. Forgot to mention critical part--all this
detection should however happen when one is "drawing" the array by
clicking with the mouse onto the array's points and dragging them to new
positions. Hence, there is no "middleware" patch to speak of (other than
what array inherently provides). Is there anything that may provide
this?
