           Summary: Rectangle: Rounded Corners with individual values
           Product: SVG
           Version: SVG 1.1 Full
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Basic Shapes
        AssignedTo: schepers@...
        ReportedBy: a.neumann@...
         QAContact: www-svg@...


There has been some discussion about rounded corners. An Inkscape user asked
for help [1] on how to do rounded rects where one corner would have a sharp
corner (no rounding) - similar to the rects in http://www.svgopen.org/2008/
where the lower-right corner is sharp.

Could we perhaps enhance the spec for rects so users could specify a list of
rx/ry values with a defined start and direction - e.g. following the direction
and start of the already defined stroking of rects.

My guess this wouldn't be too hard to implement since most viewers convert the
rects to path element internally anyway? Any thoughts on how feasible this is?

At least one viewer does not convert rects to paths internally :-). Although it
wouldn't be hard to do it seems to me like an unusual use case that Inkscape
could offer, if required by creating a path element without needing to extend
the specification.
