Is it possible for someone to make a function to return the x and z sizes (and tile counts) of an unknown matrix? Just wondering...

..if u the matrix is unknown how did u make it? did it just mysteriously appear? *is confused*

if an unknown matrix causes a glitch in a program which nobody sees, does it piss anyone off?

record this distance taken in both directions, as well as positive and negative space.

That's usually true, but if you are using someone else's code it could be more difficult - especially if the library has been encoded using Hubdules preprocessor.

I'm currently putting together a TPC DLL with a few extra commands that will include the matrix size stuff.

I'll post it later tonight

When I said "unknown matrix" I was refering to a matrix loaded from a file (Magic World, MatEdit, etc.).
@IanM: That DLL sounds cool! I'll bet this will help a lot of people out.
Thanks for the help everyone! This is why I love the forums !

In the case of MatEdit, you have the matrix system variables MatWidth#() and MatHeight#().

For example, the width in pixels of matrix 1 is stored in MatWidth#(1).

I don't know about Magic World, but I would imagine you have something similar.
