[GEM-dev] pix_rds added

hiya,

...just added pix_rds, which is a port of the effectTV random dot stereogram code...which brings me to a question: how should we best deal with "utility" type functions? I've been porting from several different effects packages, and some of them use similar code for colorspace changes, or matrix math, or whatever...I noticed a problem with namespace clashes when I loaded GEM, PDP, PDP2GEM, and PIDIP, because PIDIP and GEM have similar ports of effects from effectTV...

...seems to me the only way to do this would be to encapsulate all functions within the pix_"object" class, but this leads to a lot of redundancy (which really isn't bad, I guess)...any ideas?

l8r, jamie
