artf 1370, lines cannot be correctly aligned to box or bordered frame

 

Hi,

 

In JR 2.0.3 modifications were made to support rendering lines of any width and style combination.

However, this problem that you tried to fix was not tackled.

Actually, we think this is not a bug and the explanation is the following.

Borders are drawn half inside the element and half on the outside. Line elements however, are elements in their own right and cannot be thinner that 1 pixel. Vertical and horizontal lines are rendered in the middle of the pixel and cannot align with borders.

 

We do not recommend using line elements to draw borders. The box border around elements should be used, as borders always align with each other.

We are not going to change this.

 

Maybe in the future, new properties will be added to the line element in order to control the way the line is rendered in respect to that 1 pixel, for vertical and horizontal lines.

 

Thank you,

Teodor
