Description

@dk Thank you for the quick and perfect support so far!

When I run the tests now, with the Prima driver the two that aim to put colour-wedges on don't do so (and the one with two bullseyes at the top don't seem to have the right gradient-shape in the bottom right either). Do you see this as well, and can you figure where the problem is?

I've just put out PDL::Graphics::Prima 0.18 on CPAN, but if necessary I'm happy to put out a new version if that's where the problem lies :-)

Research direction

Start by running the tests that exercise colour wedges and the two bullseyes with the Prima driver, then compare their output with the other drivers and the PDL::Graphics::Prima 0.18 release. Trace the Prima-specific rendering path to identify whether the missing wedges and incorrect gradient shape come from this interface or its dependency; done means both wedge tests render correctly and the bullseye gradient matches expectations.
