+I want to make a Kollsman 1979U4 compass, the graduate dials is placed on a cone trunk, very low with a fairly moderate sloping wall. In this case, even if you are having perspective errors, you can 'bundle' the cone trunk with an image that will be 1024x64 pixels.<BR>This is a fairly generic case, so the technique adopted can be extended to all similar tools. The important thing is to organize well the LaTeX program so that it is clear what we can change without changing the result.
+ Note: LaTex is a programming language, such as NASAL, XML, etc ... LaTeX is not structured as XML since, at the time of implementation (1975), XML was not yet conceived and in any case the  XML it would be too long-winded language to be used directly as an editor / formatter of a text.
