<pre><span class="quote">>I suggested that PSOutputDev::startPage generates the cropbox with the given box in the state</span >
I think that with the patch, the postscript clip is generated by calls in
Gfx::Gfx() when Page::createGfx() calls new Gfx().
I agree that my patch is hacky. So I understand, you want to keep Gfx::Gfx()
and have PSOutputDev::startPage() generate the clip line?
Can startPage() use page->getCropBox() ? That would save passing it.
Gfx::Gfx() calls
out->startPage(pageNum, state);
out->setDefaultCTM(state->getCTM());
before calling
out->clip(state);
so that the CTM is initialized before generating the clip.
If PSOutputDev::startPage() sets up the clip, it would be generated before the
CTM is initialized. Is that a problem?
Since Page::createGfx() is generic to all output, while
PSOutputDev::startPage() is specific to postscript, would moving the patch from
createGfx() to startPage() mean other devices that wanted to crop to the
cropbox would need to implement it in their own startPage()>
