i wanted to test some auto-segmentation algorithm.
i built up this piece of code (attached) in about a hour.
this demonstrates basilar working of this feature.
i am open to any suggestions. for now it very very simple. it still miss 
some magnetic control to avoid crosing objects, and some more anchor 
point to allow loop outlet->inlet of the same object.

the code is intended only to show this method. the interesting code is 
in the zap() function.
i'm not able to program in tcl/tk.. otherwise maybe i would sent 
directly a patch to pd.. hehe :)
you need fltk-1.1 to build it.
you can build it so:
$ g++ sc.cpp `fltk-config --cxxflags` `fltk-config --ldflags`

bye!
