I believe that you have to do the maths yourself, ie. SVG 1.1 has nothing to join/blend/merge/solder shapes. SVG 1.2 will have this feature. As always in this kind of question, I point to Kevin Lindsey site <http://www.kevlindev.com/geometry/index.htm> which has a comprehensive set of JavaScript routines for geometry maths applied to SVG. Well, I am not sure you will find the solution of your problem here, but the maths for rectangle intersections are quite simple, I think. If really you are lost, I will try and do the maths, it is an interesting problem. Note: Since you are making closed shapes, maybe you can specify them with polygon, with fill="none". This avoid to repeat the initial point as last point. -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- Professional programmer and amateur artist -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
