Gradients in MVG, does not obey geometry

[anthony]

I have been playing with MVG gradients.

Code: Select all

viewbox 0 0 320 100
translate 30 50

push defs
push gradient 'bar_gradient' linear 0,-32 0,32
stop-color 'rgb(0,255,0)' 0%
stop-color 'rgb(0,128,0)' 100%
pop gradient
pop defs

push graphic-context
fill 'url(#bar_gradient)' stroke black stroke-width 1
roundrectangle -16,-32 146,32 16,32
pop graphic-context

It you give this to convert
convert gradient_test.mvg show:

The result is that the gradient does not obey the translation or its internal offsets!
The vertical length of the gradient is obeyed, but the top (0% stop) is pegged to the top of the drawing space.
It does not obey either the 'start point' specified or the translation of the coordinate system.

In similar way only the last two 'colors' are actually used.

that is substituting this into the above only produces a green to black gradient!!!

Code: Select all

push gradient 'bar_gradient' linear 0,0 0,100
stop-color 'white' 0%
stop-color 'lime' 30%
stop-color 'green' 60%
stop-color 'black' 100%

I though gradient had been improved in MVG! with expansion of the stop colors.
