Cairo does this for us. More important is rect, circle, ellipse. At webkit we learned to do simple math without the graphic library. Especially Cairo graphics used to be not very fast. I am not so sure about path so.

Same occurs to webkit. We would not support it for display:none.

At least for display:none the same occurs to webkit. And possibly ie. Greetings, Dirk > > Best regards > > Robert.
