This is really old news (from 1998).

Takeo's algorithm indeed was the original source for Squeak's implementation. IIRC the first Squeak version was done by Alexander Lazarevic (U of Magdeburg) while interning at Alan Kay's group. You still had to draw an outline, which later was refined by Andreas Raab and Jana Hintze (U of Magdeburg at internship again) to allow drawing an image with automatic extraction of the texture. Impara's implementation in Plopp is more robust as outlined in their ESUG awards application, and indeed impara even acknowledges Takeo's work in Plopp's credits.
