No offense but xdvipdfmx has some problem with the graphics. I'm kind of one
of the managers of the Chinese TeX Society and we have a forum called CTeX
forum, and there're a lot of posts complaining that xdvipdfmx will cut part
of their graphics. For instance, if they draw a picture with metapost,
xdvipdfmx will only show the first quadrant of it. I guess it's confused
about the boundingbox and the accordinate.
