RE: PCL renderer and borders (commit please)

[Art Welch <ar...@EASTPOINT.COM>]

I found and fixed the problem with borders in the PCLRenderer. The problem
was in the PCLRenderer, so I did not look any further. The borders produced
by the PCLRenderer are now identical to those produced by the PDFRenderer
(at least for the examples I tested). For thick borders there may still be
gaps at the corners. Maybe this is the desired appearance. It does produce
an interesting effect with thick borders in multiple colors. I assume that
this is one of the things that Karen was going to look into.

Diff attached.

Thank You,
Art

I will take a look at it. When I was testing this I noticed that the borders
did not look quite correct, but I also thought that they looked the same as
the PDF renderer produced (but I only looked very quickly). I also think
that Karen had mentioned that she was going to be working on some border
problems. I will verify that the PCLRenderer is producing the same borders
as the PDFRenderer. Then if Karen fixes the borders, they should both be
correct. If I stumble across the root cause of the border problems, I will
let the list know whatever I find.

Thank You,
Art

Hi,

there is a little error when using solid borders (blocks and tables) and
printing with the PCL renderer. The borders (1pt width) are drawn
correctly in the print output except for a point that is missing in the
lower right corner. It's only one point but it stands out even when you
look at the print from a little farther.

The PDF renderer output shows no missing point.

Jens

Committed.
But I wonder if we shouldn't do the same to PDF. Last time I looked they
had gaps too, even on thin borders (if you magnify it enough...)
