Thank you.@bplus. The visual effect of the stones is quite good. I haven’t used image files for two reasons:
I don’t want to rely on external files. The SVG approach yields fairly good results—it can generate stones based on my required radius, and the gradient effects can likely be fine‑tuned even further. Also, implementing it is relatively straightforward.
I’ve noticed that image quality degrades when using _PUTIMAGE for scaling, especially when downsizing. I’m still looking into this, so if you have any good techniques, please share them. If I can learn the trick, using $EMBED and _EMBEDDED$ would also be a viable option.
