Inaccurate circle segment

Postby ueli » Wed Jan 05, 2011 7:05 am

Hello guys, I have a problem:

I have made a circle (red) and on top of that red circle there's a dark blue circle with exact the same size and the dark blue covers the red one completely. Now, if i make the dark blue circle to a segment, its outline gets wavy and the red circle is visible on the edges as shown in the screenshot.

Is this a bug in inkscape or is there any way to get around this problem?

Thanks for the help.

Could you attach the SVG file used for the screenshot?

AFAIU some limitations with regard to the precision of the rendering of ellipses/circles/arcs in Inkscape are due to them being approximated by bézier curves internally.
