Hello, it's probably worth adding that this is not a problem with pathGrob, only polypath.
This code is sufficient to demonstrate the problem in Windows. ## overlapping, both clock-wise x <- cbind(c(.1, .1, .6, .6, NA, .4, .4, .9, .9), c(.1, .6, .6, .1, NA, .4, .9, .9, .4)) ## only a problem on Windows windows() and png() plot(x);polypath(x, rule = "winding", col = "#BEBEBE80") This code shows the same behaviour on different systems/devices. ## no problem on Windows/Linux/PNG/PDF ... library(grid) grid.newpage() pushViewport(viewport(0.5, 0.5, width = 1, height = 1)) grid.draw(pathGrob(x[,1], x[,2], rule = "winding", gp = gpar(fill = "#BEBEBE80"))) Cheers, Mike.
