That would require a `document anchored' background image, which is hard to do (I explained why in a recent post on this same thread). Anyway, why not just use a normal image for this, since that's what most web browsers do for image-maps? > One could draw pictures and put annotations on top of them with > text.

Again this would probably run afoul of the `document anchored' image restriction, though I admit it would be kinda cool. Hmm, maybe there's some cheezy heuristic which would get the average case mostly right. E.g., just use the line count [is this available to redisplay if mode-line line-numbers are turned on?] and multiply by the default face's height. It'd be wrong for some cases, but it would usually result in coherent display behavior (the image would scroll in unison with the text ... most of the time). -Miles --=20 Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra.
