XML Programming

| Its a complete XML DOM.  If you're inputting XML you need
to use it since I'll

Here a snippet
| of code for delegates:
| 
|   XMLTreeInfo *preferences_tree;
|   XMLTreeInfo *delegates,*delegate,*command;
| 
|  
blob=FileToString("delegates.xml",~0UL,exception
);
|   preferences_tree=NewXMLTree(blob,exception);
|  
delegates=GetXMLTreeChild(preferences_tree,"delegatema
p");
|  
delegate=GetXMLTreeChild(delegate,"delegate");
|   command=GetXMLTreeChild(delegate,"command");
|   

I noticed that delegates does not currently use the
xml-tree.c module
so other than the above notes you gave I still have little
to go on.

Also does the XML parser have to actually read the whole
file into a
blob?   This is very memory wastful, especially as XML is
designed to be
verbose and readilly parsible as a file stream rather than a
in memory
string.

As a progress report I attach the initial
"thresholds.xml" file I
designed last night, to hold the threshold maps to be parsed
into the
structure for use by the new (incomplete)
OrderedPosterizeDither()
function.

I do not feel it should be nessary for ALL the maps to be
read in, but
only the elements that are referenced from the command line
or API.
