Markus,

Agreed regarding what?

Moritz just supposes but he is not sure. And if you look into my
original email you'll that he's wrong:

1. a *straight* line, consisted of 4 vertices, at regular intervals of
   10
2. thresh>0.03 prunes all vertices (besides the nodes of course)
3. thresh<=0.03 prunes none

Then Moritz's idea is wrong.

And I need to know exactly how the thresh in prune works, as I'm using
it for my work. The result will be a script that I'm going to publish.
Please - if anybody knows, tell me. I'd love to update the manual
accordingly.
