Hello bug squad, I'd like to withdraw this proposal. Having thought about it some more, I think it would be better to have a new function that combines the benefits of both (A) the make-connected-path-stencil function and (B) using ly:make-stencil with a path expression. Namely: (A) - automatically calculate stencil extents - allow scaling of the stencil (B) - allow use of all possible path commands, both relative and absolute: lineto rlineto curveto rcurveto moveto rmoveto closepath - allow "unconnected" paths with multiple segments (i.e. allow (r)moveto in the middle of the path expression) - allow use of different cap and join styles So with some work I've written a function that can actually do all this (drawing on the make-connected-path-stencil code and the path code itself from output-svg.scm). I would like to contribute it to LilyPond, but I suppose I should look at the contributors guide on how to proceed. Maybe I will send what I've got to the developer list to see if there's even interest in including this. (Although it looks like they are in the middle of the 2.18 release, and there's no rush on this...) Thanks, -Paul P.S. Here are snippets demonstrating each of these current ways to make a path stencil: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=623 http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=891 _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
