Hi,
I have been living, breathing, and even dreaming units the past couple of weeks. My understanding of what Inkscape does and what it should do has evolved over the time period but now I think it has pretty much solidified. I thank all those that have given feedback.
I've tried to put all this knowledge at one place:
wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Units_In_Inkscape
Conclusions:
- There are only three attributes that
matter:
The SVG root 'width'
The SVG root 'height'
The 'viewBox'
Together they define a mapping of the
real world to 'user units', in particular they define a scaling factor.
Note from me:
I have a simple request. I almost always work in inches. The scales at the top and on the left side measure to a quarter of an inch. I would like them to have 1/8 inch markings also when the total image is zoomed in on. The new "ruler" is helpful but a bit awkward to work with.
