Title: arrowheads appear clipped when setlinewidth > 1
Submitter: John Ellson

Subsys: Dot
Version: 1.9
System: *-*-
Severity: minor
Problem:
In PostScript, I learned, setlinewidth applies only to the immediately following newpath, after that linewidth reverts to the default.

So in PS, arrowheads are drawn with linewidth=1. The other renderers need modification to emulate this behaviour so that arrowheads are unaffected by the current setlinewidth style.

(The alternative of trying to make arrowheads grow with linewidth would be much more complicated and, I suspect, less attractive or useful.)

Also, in GD outputs, lines are being extended at each end by half linewidth. In PS the line ends at the coordinate independent of the linewidth.

Fix: Fixed in CVS (at least for those renderers that support wide lines).
