<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">That still converts the path to a mask multiple times. The trick, if you<br>
are willing to sacrifice sub-pixel accuracy (and there are times when<br>
that is desired or mitigated by other means) is to render the circle to<br>
a 'large' alpha-only similar surface:<br>
