Hi all,
I just committed an improved bbox calculation when SPItem::RENDERING_BBOX precision is requested. Now it correctly includes stroke endcaps.
This fixes an important bug: when creating a pattern from selected objects, the bbox calculation was not accurate enough for paths with butt caps. This meant it was not easy to make a pattern of a plus to create a hatch fill pattern. (the plusses would not connect with each other) Now this works as easy as it should.
I have also increased the precision of the bbox calculation for fitting the canvas to the selection and for turning the selection into a marker.
Note that the improved RENDERING_BBOX calculation takes more time than before (in fact, RENDERING_BBOX used to be the same as APPROXIMATE_BBOX).
these 2 bugs can no longer be reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9307:
- "Fit Page to Selection" doesn't take arrow heads into account https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/479964
- Bounding box too small in EPS export https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/186182
still reproducible:
- Bounding box does not include long miters https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166659
What is strange now imho: when resizing the page to selection, the bounding box of the selected object is smaller than the resized page margin (seen with both test cases of bug #479964 and #186182) -> does the command (button label) need to be rephrased or will the selection bounding box also be changed to include long miters / stroke endcaps?
