Re: Path transcoding problems with Batik

Hi Werner, 
    The result is much better if you add shape-rendering="geometricPrecision" either to the path or the containing group.  It may be that by adjusting the miter limit you could also mitigate/eliminate the issue (the jags look to me like miters gone wild).
