Yes, it makes sense, let the viewer do the work. And it works for all SVG primitive shapes. Algorithmic way is still useful, eg. to test if a point (center of circle or corners of rectangle for example) is inside a path. And mouse events can be hard to track if shapes are overlaid, unless you cascade events. -- Philippe Lhoste -- (near) Paris -- France -- http://Phi.Lho.free.fr -- For servers mangling my From and Reply-To fields, -- please send private answers to PhiLho(a)GMX.net -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ------------------------ Yahoo!
