Revision 7812 contains a text clipping option for the cairo drivers, called text_clipping. Off, the default, is text_clipping=0, On is text_clipping=1. I was measuring the time by looking at how long it took xcairo to render a complicated plot like example 9 page 1. It behaves a little unexpectedly in that you get the message "Key <Return> to finish" and a blank window almost immediately. Then if you wait a few (10s?) of seconds the plot is finally rendered. -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
