No offense but xdvipdfmx has some problem with the graphics. I'm kind of one of the managers of the Chinese TeX Society and we have a forum called CTeX forum, and there're a lot of posts complaining that xdvipdfmx will cut part of their graphics. For instance, if they draw a picture with metapost, xdvipdfmx will only show the first quadrant of it. I guess it's confused about the boundingbox and the accordinate. > > > Wolfgang > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to > the Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net > archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.
