So I take it that the mainstream approach is to use
a 1000-count (or some sub-printable-dimension unit)
database and soft-create non-manhattan shapes?
Are there then native or contrib drawing features
(menu, script, bindkey commands) available
that can manipulate the "soft shapes" - polygons,
circles, etc. - and just hide the composite nature
from the user? I guess that, practically, I don't
care if my "circle" is 10,000 little tiles as long
as they can be manipulated as a whole, not singly.
Only downside I can see is that the number of tiles
is now 1E6 (perhaps) the useful minimum (tile=min
process feature size)? Database bloat problems?
