I think this is exactly what I want (with just a little moreprocessing).
Thank you so much for the idea!

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting the same output as you though,
and I'm wondering if there might be a setting that I need to change.

Here is what I tried, and the result. Do you have an idea of what is going
wrong here?

Thank you!
