sorry, but i don't know the english word for that i mean.
my string is metalic, i would say: it consists of cupper.
the scene looks like a student's barack.
and that is the reason why you can see the string.

Take a look at the include files by Chris Colefax. I think you will
find one that will take care of your problem for you.

Do you mean the picture isn't hanging up? - i.e. the string is a loop hanging
down?

I think he is looking for a twisted cable. I have seen many poorly mounted
pictures where the wire cable was exposed above the top of the picture frame.
Given his description I believe that is the effect he is looking for.

Then I'm still confused - apart from where the wire loops over the nail, I don't
see where the curve would come in....

great link! it is a good template.
but i do not want to be introduced using someone's great include-files. my
point of interest is a little bit more the theory behind it.

So what have you got against a torus? I'm a torus, of course I'm on the cusp....

Oh, forget it, I've worked it out - too smooth? Not your nice twisted copper...
