Re: Patterns and Clipping (Adobe SVG Plug-In)

Vincent,

Thanks for the information.

When I try the samples/tests/patternRegions.svg example with the 
Adobe SVG plug-in (version 3 beta), the output doesn't match the 
output from Batik.

Is the Adobe SVG plug-in incorrectly handling patterns with visible 
overflow? I didn't see a mention of this in the CurrentSupport.pdf 
document.

I am trying to add SVG export to Tess (http://www.peda.com/tess) but 
not having much luck with patterned fills in SVG.

Thanks,
Jeff
