 executed
  correctly, leaving a visual gap in place of the joint.
 
 Gap confirmed with dia-0-97 branch and GDK renderer. One benefit of the big
 renderer interface change on master is preserving the close information.
 Formerly only Renderer::fill_bezier() was known to be closed, while
 Renderer::draw_bezier() was used for closed or open stroking. Now there is
 Renderer::draw_beziergon() to stroke and/or fill.

  However, there's another problem with this shape.
  1. I can't seem to make it 3x3, even if I add a background r=1.5 circle,
 the
  resulting shape is a little thinner. Is this, perhaps, because ellipse
 is a
  little taller than 3 units?
 Good guess, but it works for me with current master and the r=1.5 circle.

  2. How can I override the line colors and styles for certain elements of
 the
  shape?
 Again this works for me with master. Setting shape colors is certainly
 possible with dia-0-97 as well, but I can confirm the lack of color with
 the released version and your shape. It is because of a deficiency
 extracting the color name from the style string. Two workarounds:
   1) use numeric color representation
   2) use stand-alone fill/stroke attributes

  3. When double-clicking the shape, I'm unable to set default line
 thickness.
  And it always revert to 10mm on each new Dia start. With whole shape
 being
  ~30mm... kind of not the visual I'm aiming for. Is this something that
 can be
  worked around?
 
 With master the kludge would be to get rid of the stroke-width by using a
 path with hole. For dia-0-97 I dont know a solution as explained in
 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2008-July/msg00084.html

 HTH,

 I'm going to make the ellipse a little smaller. Perhaps, my math to get
 endpoints was a little too lax in rounding.
