You wouldn't need the information in the array, but you would need a switch
perameter in each macro. I agree with you that this may very well be less
intuitive for the user.

Sorry, missed it. A slightly better way of doing it might be to select the
dividing line which is closest to a point representing the average of the
four corners. I doubt it would make a noticeable difference, however.
