Hi all!

Yeah, I'll post it soon. Unfortunately I have to tidy it up a bit.
AND my Laptop crashed yesterday.. aarghh

But I'll definitely bring it along on the Vienna meeting too..

Actually I asked a similar question as this a few month ago.
I also played around a bit with the [curve 2] object and posted my first result
on the list too..
But as I couldn't come up (and no-one else) with a effective solution I decided
just to use .jpg images of the waveforms (as IOhannes suggested)

Still I would also be very interested in a solution..
I imagine that a [curve] object with an input for a list of points would be very
useful..

As my Laptop doesn't work at the moment I can't look at it right now. I'm really
curious..
