We discovered a problem when we tried to print from an application we are developing. ImageWriter output is fine but LaserWriter output was not properly clipped. In essence the application drew two rectangles put their regions into the clip region, then drew a line from centre-to-centere. On the screen and the ImageWrite the segment of the line inside the rectangles is clipped. On the LaserWriter the line shows up inside the rectangles. We don't have any specific LaserWriter doc'n that helps us with this problem. Any observations/suggestions? ...!decvax!utzoo!dciem!djr (Doug Ross Andyne Computing Limited)

Region operations in general are not implemented. To quote: "Simulate them with Polygons" I think this is a cop out. It caused me IMMENSE pain in the you know what. Stew
