concrete example pls?

(btw, that the reason for the N different orientations and N splittings was to 
appease our graphic designer at the time who insisted on a way of having 
different light sources depending on orientation and the ability to manage 
things like radii of curved corners accurately ... i think it is pretty 
complex too, though writing a small cli tool with Qt that takes a pixmap and 
splits it up and shoves it into an SVG would probably have been a shit load 
easier than all the manual work people have done in the last 3 years)

we could use shaders instead. ;)
