Hi all,

Who knows what determines the rendering order of the different markers? See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/478157. Currently, endmarkers are drawn beneath midmarkers, although the code calls sp_marker_show_instance last for endmarkers. Perhaps this has to do with the 'key' that is passed to sp_marker_show_instance? (determines the layer?)

Have a look at sp_shape_update_marker_view in sp-shape.cpp.

I'm afraid that code is in a different layer altogether. This deals with SPObjects, but what you need is ArenaItems. As I recollect without looking at the code, the path/shape arena item also stores markers and eventually renders them. Look into libnr/.
