RE: [Arianne-devel] AlphaComposite Weather Layer

[Anders A. <and...@ho...>]

Hello Jim

What you have done seems very interesting indeed, im waiting to test your 
new jar file.

Anyway a flag don't really exist for what I know, exept the naming and 
placing of the maps... we have all the interior maps in a folder called 
interiors, and it could easerly be added so that the extra image don't apply 
to those maps I belive... well maybe you could call that a form of "flag" 
thou I guess...
