Re: Visual glitches all over the place
Hi,
I sent the email below earlier today to this list, but apparently it
didn't go through. Maybe attachments are not allowed? If that's the
case, I apologize.
Anyway, the original email is below, and the figure showing the visual
glitches I mention can be retrieved at
www.cefala.org/~vilela/visual_glitches.png
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Adriano
