The clipping distance is invaluable when editing meshes, particularly 
large ones.  I don't know how the OpenGL views are handled, but if the 
information regarding what depth to display is known to Moray, could a 
'if point depth isn't in this range, ignore it' work?

If the 'fit to view' backdrop option is selected, it stretches the image 
to fill the view.  Not very useful then.  The desired effect would be 
keeping aspect ratio, locking the image to the viewport so it (instead 
of the entire scene/model) could be repositioned...that in mind, an 
option to specify location of backdrop as well as scale would work.  At 
that point it'd become convenient to be able to use multiple backdrops. 
  Other concern is resolution...is that OpenGL setting, and is there a 
way to define that if detailed backdrops are used?

Ahh...ok, that is part of what I want to do, but a) doesn't move face 
along normal and b) shared edges of adjacent faces don't remain a shared 
edge.
