Keyhole effect?

[Brian Milby]

We had a discussion in 2018 about using a hex shaped grc to split up an
image (started by Richmond).  The key line there was:

set the backPattern of grc "hex" to the ID of img "box"

Since attachments and stacks were involved, I'm pretty sure it took place
on the forums.  I'm not sure if this will accomplish what you're looking
for though.  I can send a stack off list if you'd like to see it.
