Oops, sorry Julie, to have sent you barking down a path (I'm sure there must be an appropriate idiom for this -- maybe "hunting the wild turkey" or something) ; the <superpath> is just an idea [1] at the moment; not a part of any existing spec. I do think it would be useful for just the sort of thing you're doing though, being envisioned to, potentially, avoid a lot of scripting and/or complexity.

Thanks for the hint, I'm going to look at the <superPath>.

That object could then be used to mask the original object keeping the original's stroke inside the intended perimeter. One could write a script to do that, but if the regions contained concavities, then this wouldn't work so well. It strikes me that the use case for what you're talking about would include when someone wants to draw a map of adjacent regions, and wants the stroke to have differing colors, but does not want the strokes to bleed out or overlap one another. That is, it seems like the situation you're describing might occur fairly often, but I can't see an easy way to do it currently. The <superPath> may be just the idea, since it is intended to allow the concept of adjacency of regions to be formalized at the level of SVG, but it's only an idea at present. Maybe someone else has another idea? cheers David ----- Original Message ----- From: jgfa92004 To: svg-developers@ yahoogroups. com Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 1:27 PM Subject: [svg-developers] Stroke width inside the shape Hi, Is there a way to set the stroke width of a polyline inside the shape instead of half inside and half outside ?
