Change the checks for the alternate drawing

The alternate drawing of boxpointers arrow is not smoothy enough to be visually nice. It should be adaptive to the exact place of source and boxpointer and not all-at-once.

Nice. However, if you slow things down (Alt-F2, lg, St.set_slow_down_factor(5), Esc), it becomes obvious that there's still a "jump", at the point when it switches from drawing a full arrow to drawing a half arrow. It would be better if it smoothly adjusted between those points as well.

A little bit of Math.{min,max} magic and it's now perfect!
