OK, for a preview image the exact pixel size is probably not really 
important, as long as it is fast and looks good ..

A rest of confusion, however, will always remain, because either in 
rpict or with a new X-Style geometry specification to rvu, with the 
currently employed hull principle one value will be usually overridden 
(as long as you don't have a table of the tangent function ready when 
typing in the values..), and you're not even shure which one, x or y.

BTW: again only a handful of dudes is discussing this, and the millions 
or billions of Radiance users in the whole wide world remain silent :-) 
Now, come on, let us hear your voice, you had a decent opinion recently 
on Bush vs. Kerry, what about angles vs pixels ???
