Thomas- I knew you were going to say that :-)
My example was incomplete. I wanted to transform and then draw many graphic primitives, not just one, and without groups because of the nesting issue. I agree with you about the userspace (scope) issue and resetting midstream, but it would be handy (for me) and there is a sequence to the commands which would answer that. Anyways, your comments sound good. thanks! I have reworked our parser for the way you suggest. thanks!- -lance On May 12, 2006, at 1:32 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Lance, > > svg-developers@yahoogroups.com wrote on 05/11/2006 02:03:58 PM: > >>> you can combine like this >>> <rect style="transform="translate(8,48)" ....
