[NTG-context] Round-corner textbox with shadow

15 Aug 2009

      Shadows on round-corner textboxes are producing square-corner shaded boxes
with square-corner shadows. The following code illustrates the problem and
should run asis. 

\def\Demos{

\startuniqueMPgraphic{shadow}
fill OverlayBox shifted (4pt,-4pt) withcolor .8white ;
fill OverlayBox withcolor .8white ;
draw OverlayBox withcolor black ;
setbounds currentpicture to OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\defineoverlay [shadow] [\uniqueMPgraphic{shadow}]
