Hi,

Actually, the subject should read ``xdvipdfmx doesn't like clipping''. 

The minimal example below compiles with the following error message. 

-------------Error Message issued by xdvipdfmx -------------------------------

-------------Minimal Example---------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\def\xmin{-6}\def\xmax{6}
\def\ymin{-6}\def\ymax{6}
\begin{pspicture}(\xmin,\ymin)(\xmax,\ymax)
\psclip{\psframe(\xmin,\ymin)(\xmax,\ymax)}%
    \psplot{\xmin}{\xmax}{x dup mul}%
\endpsclip
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}
-----------------------------------------------------------------

No clipping is performed. 

I'm running MikTeX 2.8 with all components updated. Any suggestions?

thanks
rick
