Hello,
Analyis is supposed to print so that the first problem does not happen (as
long as your aspect ratio for the window is set to 1). I just tried it
now (in override and non-override mode) and it seemed to work. So it
should stretch or shrink the window in x/y to make the aspect ratio work
out correctly.
The current drawing code does use clipping. I guess that could be changed
so that the drawing routine itself does the clipping (but that's harder of
course, and possibly also slower to do it this way). When you say it is
not working in Illustrator does that mean it is not imposing the clipping
so all the lines stretch outside the bounding box? (Illustrator of all
applications ought to be able to deal with PDF correctly!)
