I haven't had much experience with alignment issues, however this looks like
the easiest solution to me (e.g. you can declare a single POINT2D in your
function and then reuse it for the entire set of POINT2Ds referenced
within). I also noticed in the source that the functions to do this already
exist, for example getPoint2d_p....


Kind regards,

Mark.
