but a close command automatically implies the "lineto" if the current position is not at the orginal starting point of the subpath (which actually isn't the same as a lineto specified by the user) - in my opinion this additional lineto, while happening behind the scenes, shouldn't appear in the path normalization. Andreas >> I would also vote against normalizing the close (z|Z) case with a lineto command. >> >> In the spec it says "When a subpath ends in a 'closepath', it differs in behavior from what happens when "manually" closing a subpath via a 'lineto' command in how 'stroke-linejoin' and 'stroke-linecap' are implemented." [1] > > Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant a close might be normalized as either just close (if the current position is equal to the subpath start position), or as a lineto (to the subpath starting position) followed by a close. That way a normalized close would mean just "join the path", not "draw a line to the subpath start position if current position isn't equal to subpath start position, then join the path". > > But like I wrote before, I'm fine with normalizing close to be just close. I just wanted to clarify what I meant. > Cheers > /Erik > > -- > Erik Dahlstrom, Core Technology Developer, Opera Software > Co-Chair, W3C SVG Working Group > Personal blog: http://my.opera.com/macdev_ed > -- Andreas Neumann Böschacherstrasse 6, CH-8624 Grüt/Gossau, Switzerland Email: a.neumann@carto.net, Web: * http://www.carto.net/ (Carto and SVG resources) * http://www.carto.net/neumann/ (personal page) * http://www.svgopen.org/ (SVG Open Conference) * http://www.geofoto.ch/ (Georeferenced Photos of Switzerland) -- Andreas Neumann Böschacherstrasse 6, CH-8624 Grüt/Gossau, Switzerland Email: a.neumann@carto.net, Web: * http://www.carto.net/ (Carto and SVG resources) * http://www.carto.net/neumann/ (personal page) * http://www.svgopen.org/ (SVG Open Conference) * http://www.geofoto.ch/ (Georeferenced Photos of Switzerland)
