What is the purpose of "hideDNA" in glyphs such as operator? #86

Open jamesamcl opened 6 years ago

jamesamcl commented 6 years ago

Some of the glyphs, such as operator, draw a white box called "hideDNA" over the top of the glyph. This is obviously only noticable on a non-white background. What is the purpose of this box?

The operator glyph sits on top of the dna strand and should hide the strand

I see. Leaving this open because it looks very strange indeed on a non-white background.

Any suggestion how to sort that?

Probably by not drawing the backbone under such glyphs in the first place. Instead of being a single line, the backbone would be broken by any glyphs designated as interrupting it.
