Skywise;

That's not an error, that's a feature!

Can you make height and color depend on Mag?

"That's not an error, that's a feature!"

You're qualified!!! As a corporate software manager.
There are no software bugs. It's a feature. It's not
broken. It's working as designed. (just not admitting
it's a bad design)


"Can you make height and color depend on Mag?"

Working on it.

What I was working on when the error happened was a
logarithmic scaling of icon size. And for the sphere
icon, I goofed. The goof was the math to do this doesn't
belong in the sphere icon code, but elsewhere, because
it affects ALL icons.

BTW, the vertical line I used for the forest video is
going to be kept. It looks too cool.
