Hi Jan, I tried your example in Windows in Opera, IE+ASV and Firefox 4beta and was able to see the "20" just fine in all three. I was able to replicate your problem. though in Chrome (which usually agrees with Safari).
The SVG support in those first three is more mature and stable than in the webkit based browsers, so I would suspect it to be a bug in webkit rather than an oddity of SVG. Incidentally, one can draw a circle-like path with a bit less arithmetic by using the "arc" sub-command : <path d=" M 300,300 a 100 100 0 1 1 1 0 z " fill="white" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" /> cheers David ----- Original Message ----- From: honyk To: svg-developers@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 3:53 PM Subject: [svg-developers] Clipping the text on the closed path Hello Everyone, I am facing a clipping issue when placing text on the closed path (circle-like Bezier curve). http://skibob.dobruska.cz/other/data.svg When my text with the text-anchor set to the middle is placed at very beginning of the path, the first half of the text is clipped (the number 20 in the example above). So in these edge cases I am placing the same text to the 'end' of that path for sure again (using the same logic this text should have clipped the second half). But instead of composition of two halves of the same text I am getting unacceptable results in major browsers (except Firefox). Can my source be enhanced somehow? Btw, I am missing something like clipping='false' in the SVG standard ;-) I'd like to avoid placing these cases on a different path (with the beginning in another angle). Any hint is welcome.
