#263 Option passing in pgfextra

[Nicolas Dudebout]

In the following code, the color option is not passed inside pgfextra consistently:

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw [red] (0,0) -- (1,1) \pgfextra{\pgfinterruptpath \node at (.5,.5) {o} \endpgfinterruptpath};
\draw [red] (0,.5) -- (1,.5) \pgfextra{\pgfinterruptpath \draw (0,1) -- (1,0); \endpgfinterruptpath};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

The expected behavior is three red lines and a red o character. However, the line (1, 0) -- (0, 1) is black.

[Till Tantau]

This is more a feature request than a bug. No guarantee when it will be fixed, if at all.

[Henri Menke]

This issue does not seems so relevant to me, especially because there is a simple workaround: Just repeat the outside color inside \pgfextra.

\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw [red] (0,0) -- (1,1) \pgfextra{\pgfinterruptpath \node at (.5,.5) {o}; \endpgfinterruptpath};
\draw [red] (0,.5) -- (1,.5) \pgfextra{\pgfinterruptpath \draw[red] (0,1) -- (1,0); \endpgfinterruptpath};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

I'm closing this.
