Hello
the problem with raster export is that you never know the exact dpi to raster to.
of course, this is a real problem for print, zooming is not the usability option i would vote for in this case
Maybe we should add some options to the save svg like:
- SVG version
- "raster" filter etc. to bitmap - here we need the dpi
- import font as SVG text,
yes why not. I can understand this is some kind of regression regarding SVG but as very few software supports filters, being ale to rasterize might improve interoperability
Possibly an extension "prepare svg for scribus" is also a way to go
I would not say only "scribus" :)
I do not know what features advances OpenRaster above other raster formats.
example from : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/OpenRaster/Draft/LayersStack/ <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <image version="0.0.3" w="300" h="177" xres="600" yres="600"> <stack> <stack x="10"> <stack> <layer name="OpenRaster Logo" src="data/hw.svg" x="5" y="5" /> <text x="50" y="10">Use a Rich Text XML Specification to write cool text in your OpenRaster File</text> </stack> </stack> <!-- filters are syntactically permissible, but not valid for baseline --> <layer name="layer1" src="data/image1.png" /> </stack> </image>
Open raster can embed svg (as far as the software can read it). We could have raster part saved and put in the stack. ORa is xml, so i might be quite easy to make an xslt sheet.
