>>I am trying to write a software, where I a lot of graphics. Maybe FoxPro is not the ideal to, but that is what I know so that is what I am using. I am simulating a CAD program, and drawing rooms etc. using container objects as the foundation for the rooms. I place objects in these rooms, and analyse the room in various ways.
