Why is a canvas path filled?

Posted by Peter N Lewis on Mar 05, 2009 



size(100,100)
fill(0,0,1)
rect(0,0,WIDTH,HEIGHT)
 
coreimage = ximport("coreimage")
 
canvas = coreimage.canvas(100, 100)
l = canvas.append(color(1.0, 0.0, 0.5))
 
p = oval( 0, 0, HEIGHT, WIDTH, draw=False )
l = canvas.append( p, background=None, fill=None, stroke= color(0, 1, 0), strokewidth=1 )
 
canvas.draw(0, 0)
Why does this produce a picture with a black filled circle? The path is set to fill=None so I expect the circle contents to be transparent (hence the center should be pink like the background).

Changing to fill=color(0,0,0,0) resolves the issue, but shouldn't fill=None work?

You already know that Export as Image... PDF does not produce the right results.

Hi Peter,
This should be fixed in the latest version.
