[14:53] <prokoudine> yes! yes! masks! 
[15:35] -fschmid- prokoudine: i'll try to implement them, but thats not so easy
[15:36] >fschmid< i need to do some hacking to get them working on Qt's Arthur paint engine, with cairo they're easy
[15:49] <prokoudine> I thought it would easy be with Arthur since it supports SVG fairly well
[16:07] >fschmid< no, sadly not, masks are a rarely used feature in SVG and Qt does only implement a subset of the SVG specs
[17:30] -fschmid- prokoudine: you're lucky, i've found a way doing gradient masks in Qt
[17:32] >fschmid< will try to implement this properly next week i hope

As we say here in matushka Rossiya, мужик сказал — мужик сделал*
In fact, pattern fill in strokes was added by Franz a couple of weeks ago the very same way.
