I don't know if I'm allowed to edit that since the submission deadline is past, though.\r\rAnd about fill rectangles breaking out of their area -- do you mean the E drag rectangle, or the fill with D? D fills entire regions (and can also change the color of drag rectangles and delete them). Using D to fill rectangles completely is the easy way to do it.\r\rI only included the drag rectangle so I could recreate this: http:\/\/academic.udayton.edu\/PhillipMagnuson\/soundpatterns\/microcosms\/micropix\/min_mondrian.jpg\r\rThat painting was also part of the reason why I didn't include a drag rectangle option sideways instead of just up and down. :P"},{"author_name":"evoker","author_uid":"22245","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 5:57am","epoch":1367214720,"text":"Nice work!
