I am a new user of SunCore on 100U Sun workstations and am wondering
if anyone can help with this question:

    I have not yet succeeded in "picking" some arcs I form by
    consecutive small lines.  Even if I make the line_width so
    large that the cursor can be essentially completely enveloped
    by the lines in the arc, the pick device will not detect it.
    I can easily pick filled polygons and can pick up figures with
    longer (>0.25 inch) lines only with some difficulty.  I cannot
    put a "background" polygon around these arcs because there can
    be an arbitrary number of them very close together, even overlapping
    and I must use NORMAL rasterop or else the individual arc lines
    overwrite each other, resulting in a washed-out arc.
    Why can't these arcs be picked and what can I do to make them
    detectable?


Any help with this question will be greatly appreciated.
