Vista - Visual Brush being "cutoff"

This is unrelated to my last question (Visual Brush as What is visible on
screen):

I have a canvas, 800x480, with a radial gradient in the center (purple
inside, black outside) and some scattered elements here and there being used
as a visual brush to paint one face of a cube in 3d with dimensions 0.8, .48,
0.8 - so everythign is proportional.

If i paint the face with just a solid brush - the brush fills up the entire
face - so i know the model is correct, but when i use the canvas as a visual
brush, it seems to cut out a bit from the outside of the brush and stretch
the results horizontally (but not vertically). I have pretty much narrowed
this down to - where the canvas has solid black on the outside, the visual
brush cuts out.

Any ideas as to how to get it to just render the entire canvas?

Thanks,
Avery

I'm not sure using a solid brush to fill is proof that a visual brush is
going to work. I belive using a solid color brush will fill always without
necessarily needing correct texture coordinates. A better test would be to
apply an ImageBrush ( ie texture ) of some kind, if you see that then a
VisualBrush *should* work fine. proper texture coordinates for one face of a
cube should look like this....

(0,0) (1,0)
+---------+
| |
| |
| |
+---------+
(0,1) (1,1)

You might also want to check the ClipToBounds property on the canvas, make
sure its set to true.

ClipToBound="True" worked.

I had items that rendered outside of the 800x480 space of the canvas. This
changed the dimensions of what the brush was rendering - so cliptobounds
worked!

Thanks Jason,
