libgnomecanvas clipping

[Martin Kretzschmar]

Hi,

What happened to the patch from this mail?

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-2-0-list/2001-December/msg00092.html

it's neither in libgnomecanvas nor in libgnomeprintui. Thus clipping in
the print-preview doesn't work correctly. According to LXR, the only
user (in gnome cvs) of the to-be-patched clipgroup class is the
print-preview.

I've attached the updated patch to bug #104602 (Clipping doesn't work
for text in preview).

Can anyone remember what happened?

Martin

I'm going to APPLY that patch (+ ChangeLog) in a few days unless anyone
COMPLAINs loudly. I've attached it for your reviewing convenience.

It fixes bug #104602 "Clipping doesn't work for text in [print] preview".
It doesn't change the API/ABI as it only overrides a virtual method in the
GnomeCanvasClipgroup. The print-preview seems to be the only user (in
cvs.gnome.org) of that class.

Compare the "4" in these screenshots to see one effect. (Ignore the
font differences.)
