Hi guys, Bit of a conundrum, which way is the end marker on a curve meant to point? if I've got a curve thus

b) <-------------<
?
It's my understanding that (a) is correct. I believe that there's a bug in the marker rendering code that causes the end marker to not behave correctly, but I couldn't pinpoint where it crops up.
There's also a bug that was causing the mid-markers to not work at all; I don't know if the latest code fixed that, but if not, that also requires further investigation. I figure if we can get end and start markers done, that's a great enhancement aside from the mid markers, but there's a whole range of cool things that we could do if we can get mid-markers working right too.
batik renders b, so thats how I've done it currently, however I just wanted to be sure. (inkscape was rendering them as per option a before.)
Hmm, well batik is kind of the de facto authority, so we'd do worse than to copy them. Can anyone see how the document would render with Illustrator?
