RE: MGDRAW Directional Cosines

Dear John,

we have developed a plugin for SimpleGeo which allows to animate particle
tracks/segments as a function of time, taking the velocity etc. into account.
Therefore, we have some code which extracts most of the information that you
should need. In case you're interested just let me know and I can make
the respective parts available to you.

Cheers
Chris
