Is there a trick to adding new patterns to the patterns.svg file?
I created a new user pattern in an image using the objects to pattern option and saved the file. I then cut out the <pattern></pattern> in a text editor and added it into patterns.svg. It shows up in the pattern drop list, but does not actually work.
Here is the pattern I created:
<pattern patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="40" height="40" patternTransform="translate(0,0)" id="pattern6158"> <path sodipodi:nodetypes="cccccccccccccccccccc" id="path6099" d="M 20.5,0.5 C 20.5,13.531254 40.5,13.531255 40.5,0.5 M 0.5,0.5 C 0.5,13.531254 20.5,13.531255 20.5,0.5 M 30.5,10.5 C 30.5,17.015628 35.5,20.25 40.5,20.25 M 10.5,10.5 C 10.5,23.531255 30.5,23.531255 30.5,10.5 M 0.5,20.25 C 5.5,20.25 10.5,17.015628 10.5,10.5 M 0.5,20.5 C 0.5,33.531255 20.5,33.531255 20.5,20.5 M 20.5,20.5 C 20.5,33.531255 40.5,33.531255 40.5,20.5 M 30.5,30.40625 C 30.5,36.921878 35.5,40.1875 40.5,40.1875 M 0.5,40.1875 C 5.5,40.1875 10.5,36.921878 10.5,30.40625 M 10.5,30.40625 C 10.5,43.437506 30.5,43.437505 30.5,30.40625" style="opacity:0.9;fill:#ffffff;fill-opacity:1;fill-rule:nonzero;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;marker:none;marker-start:none;marker-mid:none;marker-end:none;stroke-miterlimit:4;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-dashoffset:0;stroke-opacity:1;visibility:visible;display:inline;overflow:visible;enable-background:accumulate" /> </pattern>
Suggestions (or pointers) on what is wrong with this pattern? In the original file it works file as a pattern. One note is that I edited the width and height to allow the strokes to overlap without gaps, but again, it works well as a pattern in the svg document.
