This is useful in cases, for example, when you want stroke a partially-transparent overlay or outline on top of some surface that may cross over itself, but you don't want it to actually blend. I know that is a terrible description, but anyone who has ever done HUD or game UI design using Cairo probably knows what I mean. :) > > DON'T BE SHY! ALL UR SNIPPETS ARE BELONG TO ME! Very nice idea and very handy to have them in one place :) One question, the license seems wrong or are they all under GPL? I hope not :) Cheers, Pierre
