> So the use case from @AmeliaBR is to be able to specify a shape that matches the inked area of an SVG path? I wasn't really thinking of that as a driving use case, more as a way to conceptualize & visualize it. I agree that the main use case is to have a consistent transition from an almost-linear shape to an exactly linear shape, or for a shape being animated down/up from point (if you really wanted to animate it down to nothing, you could always animate down the margin to 0, to create a smooth transition). > It might be better to consider zero-width lines as contributing to the shape-outside wrapping effect to avoid that discontinuity. Yes, I think so. The more I play around with it, the more it makes sense to use any edge as the boundary, regardless of fill area. I added two more samples to my test case, both using a cross shape. In the first, the cross is exact, so that there is zero fill area and the float layout ignores the polygon. In the second, a few points have been shifted by a tenth of a pixel and the layout is completely different (although the difference in the SVG visualization of the same shape is imperceptible to my eyes). Both the vertical and the horizontal lines of the cross affect the layout. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2375#issuecomment-369832478 using your GitHub account
