Actually I have tried this solution, with the somehwat startling
effect that it was probably the slowest variant of 'em all. the
(cumbersome IMO) to-image method is way way faster.
I'll now try Larry's Bresenham, though I've read somewhere that draw
was supposed to be way faster (5x?). On va voir.
The speed penalty seems to be introduced by the sheer existence of the
'effect' ...
Something's weird here.
