SVG DrawPicture ignores rectangle

[Joe_L]

SVG.DrawPicture (canvas As CanvasWrapper, destrect As android.graphics.Rect)
"Draw this picture on the specified canvas to fit into the dest rectangle."

The picture is drawn at the destination rectangle origin but not clipped or scaled to the rectangle edges (contrast with DrawBitmap which does)
Dim rect1 As Rect
rect1.Initialize(200dip, 200dip,100dip,100dip)

Dim s As SVG
s.Initialize(File.DirAssets,"mypicture.svg")
s.DrawPicture(cvs,rect1)

Dim bdw As Bitmap
bdw.Initialize(File.DirAssets,"Rose2.jpg")
cvs.DrawBitmap(bdw,Null,rect1)

I exposed DrawBitmap as the standard Canvas doesn't expose it. The behaviour you see is what Canvas.DrawPicture does. The Android documentation, such as it is, says

public void drawPicture (Picture picture, Rect dst)

Draw the picture, stretched to fit into the dst rectangle.
