The cairo driver plots look the same across different types of output.

I'm pretty sure that none of the drivers I've nominally been responsible for (aqt, svg and cairo) implement text clipping.

Should I continue to address these issues rather than the next release? -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
