test case

The figure is gray circle instead of black astroid.

Looks like a bug in clipPath. The example works as expected, if clipPath just has one circle. We create a ImageMask if clipPath has more than one shape for clipping. This masking operation seems to be the problem. I could just test it on Chromium/Linux. Did you test it on Safari?

I tested it on:
 Safari 5.0 (7533.16) on WinXP - gray filled circle
 Opera 10.54 (3423) on WinXP - no problems
 Google Chrome 5.0.375.86 on WinXP - no problems
 Firefox 3.6.6 on Win2003 - no problems

Opera chokes on the following modified test case:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<clipPath id="clip" clipPathUnits="objectBoundingBox">
 <circle cx="0" cy="0" r="0.5" />
 <circle cx="0" cy="1" r="0.5" />
 <circle cx="1" cy="0" r="0.5" />
 <circle cx="1" cy="1" r="0.5" />
</clipPath>

<defs>
 <linearGradient id="grad">
  <stop offset="0" stop-color="black" />
  <stop offset="1" stop-color="white" />
 </linearGradient>
 
 <mask id="gmask" x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" maskContentUnits="objectBoundingBox"> 
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" fill="url(#grad)" />
 </mask>

 <mask id="mask" x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" maskContentUnits="objectBoundingBox">
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" fill="white" />
  <rect x="0" y="0" width="1" height="1" fill="black" clip-path="url(#clip)" />
 </mask>
</defs>

<g mask="url(#gmask)">
 <circle cx="50%" cy="50%" r="50" fill="black" mask="url(#mask)" />
</g>
</svg>

I checked the wokring path of svg mask and clippath. It turns out, that both, clipPath as well as Mask don't have mistakes. It works correctly. The real problem is the following: We create intermediate ImageBuffers for the mask, as well as clipPath. The size of this buffers depend on the userSpace of the references object. If the object is very small (like for objects with relative params), the ImageBuffer is very small too. The result gets scaled at the end. This can cause strange behavior like on the example of above.

We have to make sure, that the used ImageBuffer are as big as the end result in device pixels.

I noticed the same, Opera has problems when using <g mask="..> <rect mask="...

Patch v2

Clearing review flag, the tests have issues when panning.
The clamping of the absolute target rects interfere with the "currentContentTransformation"... need to think about this a little more, and create additional tests covering panning&zooming on deep nested masks/clippers.

Resolved all issues with zoom & pan. No regressions, but beautiful progressions :-)
