[Inkscape-devel] Impossible to correctly scale LPE stitch subcurves?

Hello all,

I am trying to fix transformation behavior for LPE (translation, scaling, rotation). I think I found a fundamental problem.

Take Stitch Subcurves. Let's say we are stitching between a straight horizontal line, and a line in the shape of: _________________ / / /

For equidistance stitch spacing, the stitch start points would be:

____o_____________o / / / o

o__________o___________o

Note that the distance is taken *along* the length of the line, not just the distance in the x-direction as this would not work in general

Now, after scaling in the Y direction:

____o_____________o / | | | | | |

/ / o

o__________o___________o
