Well, its a mystery to me. I definitely can get the effect using drawing options other than filled curve. I'm getting in on sun workstations and a colleague in another department is getting it on SGIs. So we've ruled out the users and the platforms. I've also never had it happen when masking a functional image, which has bigger voxels. Any chance it could be an interaction between the width of the drawing line on the pixels and the resulting change to the voxels when voxels are small?
