Re: How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi Torsten, Thanks for the confirmation. That obviously explains the observed behaviour very simply. Not intuitive to me. I would have thought the stencil was rotated in this case about its axis of symmetry. But I guess lily[ond does not really know the item, just a stencil, is a 'circle' with

Re: How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi Andrew, The bounding box of a circle actually is a square. But, after rotation, the resulting markup/stencil will have a new bounding box (with vertical height and horizontal width) large enough to contain the original bounding box (all objects are considered as boxes, no matter what their

Re: How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi Torsten, I think Harm and I would assume the bounding box for a circle is a square, which is the root of the confusion. Why is it a rectangle for a circle? Andrew ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org

Re: How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi Harm, David is right - it's the bounding box being rotated. As bounding boxes can only have heights and widths in vertical and horizontal direction (there isn't even such a thing as an italic slant in LilyPond), the resulting new bounding box's height and width increases. I usually solve this

Re: How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi Harm, It's interesting to observe how the bounding box increases in size as you increase the angle and then decreases again as you go to 90 degrees. Clearly lilypond does not display the mathematical nicety of Postscript. As to 'why?' - isn't this a bug or defect? Andrew

How to prevent ly:stencil-rotate to modify dimensions

Hi all, let's say I've a stencil, which I want to rotate around it's center. For the example below I choosed make-circle-stencil, because a circle center-rotated _should_ always look equal. Though, applying ly:stencil-rotate modifies the dimensions of said circle for degrees not equal to (* 90
