Probably a good idea. I was just reading through the ImageMagick API docs though, and man does it have the Most Gratuitously Awful Naming Scheme Ever -- practically every function/type name is _absurdly_ generic (e.g., "ReadStream", "ExceptionInfo", "GetGeometry", ...), and seem almost intended to cause conflicts with user programs (or other libraries with poorly named functions). [this is in C, remember, no namespaces] Gahhh.. this is the GNU standard image library?! -Miles p.s., of course I'm ignoring the cutesy names, which are merely silly, not an actual hazard... -- Road, n. A strip of land along which one may pass from where it is too tiresome to be to where it is futile to go.
