Since most of the clients here are MacMosaic, most of the work is done on 
a Macintosh using Adobe Photoshop for both creation and for getting the 
coordinates.  We have very few X users here.

A simple tool to create and save the polygon data might be nice.  You 
could simply click on points and it would leave a trail and then we 
finished output the data.  Of an X verion would be the obvious choice 
now, but probably wouldnt do *me* much good.
