I'm glad to hear that you figured this out. Is this somewhere in the SVG standard? I was looking at: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ text.html#TextElement, Example text01, from which I concluded that whitespace and line end characters are ignored. This example has whitespace and line end characters both before and after the text! -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
