I have several objects in "xfig" that partly overlap. As specified in the
manual page for xfig, I am using "depth" to control the priority of
objects. The problem is that the commands doesn't work properly.
The higher the depth, the lower the priority is said in the man page but
"xfig" seems to ignore that on many objects. What's worse is that
a _part_ (a line in my case) seem to have a higher priority than the
rest of the object.
I hope you can help me fix the problem. The file is in my root
directory and I made it accessible.
Another problem occurs when you a fill a closed region with POLYLINE. On the
screen the area is shaded but on the printout it always remains
unfilled. I solved the problem by using POLYGONE.
