Hi folks, [CC'ing mpl-dev just for reference so they know we're taking care of this on our side]
I've been investigating further the bug where clipped paths in SVG render wrong in our console. It turns out the mpl team already fixed some things on their side, and I can confirm that their SVGs now render fine in inkscape. Here's an annotated example: http://i.imgur.com/NCSEJ.png However, the problem seems to be that the Qt SVG renderer simply doesn't support clipping paths, period. Furthermore, they seem to have decided they won't fix this, as the bug was closed with "won't fix": http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-1865 >From the Qt experts: am I misreading this? Because if we're indeed stuck with a half-broken SVG renderer from qt, then we'll need to reconsider our implementation of pastefig(), to perhaps support an optional format flag so that users can send png if they prefer... Bummer. Cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
