When a pattern is created it has the same coordinate system has the user space, but if a transformation is applied (to user space) the spaces become different. I haven't yet fully grokked what the implications are. It is still odd that DrRacket and Scribble render the same pict differently though. If I call (convert the-pict 'png-bytes) in DrRacket I get the correct image, and Scribble doesn't do anything more. <div class=""> > And the examples at that link are really fantastic! </div>Thanks! <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> > On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Jens Axel Søgaard <<a href="mailto:jensaxel@soegaard.net">jensaxel@soegaard.net</a>> > wrote: >> >> 2014-02-11 19:39 GMT+01:00 Robby Findler <<a href="mailto:robby@eecs.northwestern.edu">robby@eecs.northwestern.edu</a>>: >> > Is the problem that you need to use (more) absolute coordinates in the >> > coordinate arguments to linear-gradient% (either that or set the origin >> > of >> > the dc, in the case that you wanted to create the brush only once)? >> >> The problem is that it is unspecified (as far as I know) whether brushes >> used in picts are specified using absolute or relative coordinates.
