Hey Andrew,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. The standard way to submit patches is to attach a patch to a relevant bug report. If no such bug report exists, please file a bug and attach the patch.

When you speak of getting it to work with the cairo renderer are you speaking of exporting or the actual gsoc-cairo branch from launchpad? Basically, if I were you, I would get it working against the cairo branch as opposed to trunk as the nr renderer will end up going away (hopefully sometime relatively soon).

Please let me or the list know what further Qs you have.

Cheers,
Josh

I'm playing with getting it to work in the cairo renderer.  It's a bit
of a pain for two reasons.  First, the existing fill-rule
implementation for clip paths is not just incorrect (fill-rule
shouldn't affect clip paths) but is also very buggy.  Second, I don't
know how to ask cairo to generate a clipping region that is the union
of two paths unless both paths use the nonzero rule.  That being said,
I have a gross hack that at least gets multiple nonzero paths or a
single evenodd path right.  I'll make it less ugly before I mail it
in.

I understand approximately nothing about the nr renderer (or whatever
the code that I assume renders the editing view is), so I've made no
progress on honoring clip-rule in the edit view.

What should I do from here?

(Note: I'm not really inclined to try to invent a sensible UI for
clip-rule.  I mainly want to be able to edit my own figures that need
clip-rule=evenodd.
