Hi Tony!

I think that's a good idea, however I would have to rewrite large portions
of my code, as my current unfortunate implementation does not allow the
introduction of new points in the fabric.

I also was thinking of having a "flag matrix" where I could indicate which
points have been "broken". I don't know if this idea might work, I have to
think a little bit more about it.

Thanks for your comments,

Fernando.
