It was to duplicate the behavior of PostScript. Only later on was it decided that this is not useful or desired behavior. It can certainly be fixed, at worse with some kind of "mode" in the cairo_t, or a different function to set the line width (that is needed anyway as a line width will have to be a 2x2 matrix). I suspect also it could just be changed without breaking any real clients, as they all set the line width after setting the matrix to work around this. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
