Hey Annie,

Thanks. I'll try.

I now did it with the rectangle object and had a draw-line-message 
connected to it. Is there another way of creating just 1px lines; i 
don't know exactly what you mean with 2d-planes.

Another issue i have is that i cannot move my gemwindow, how do I set 
the properties for that window? A posdim message, doesn't work. [I 
couldn't find the helpfile for the gemwin in the Gem-documentation.]

Thanks a lot.
