Ahhh...
But there's a problem.
What's a pixel???
Are we 90 DPI, 75 DPI, 72 DPI...?
I think there are a few things that need to get settled down in the code before pixel-level accuracy can be hit. Unfortunately that might included changes needed for "target profile" support. Fortunately, that work will probably address this and similar issues.
Of course, it's set to happen at "some point in the future", so the schedule is not fixed.
That's right. No rasters here. ^^
I was thinking about this. Would someone really want to put an arbitrary limit on precision? What kind of granularity is proper?
I was thinking another approach might be to have snap to grid enabled with a very small grid to help ensure most coordinates were nice rounded integer numbers and then use some crude find and replace to cleanup the markup. (Replacing .00000 with blank is about as easy as it gets, on a good day though I might get organised and put together some scripts.)
I also thought the Simplyfy command might take into account trying to use more rounded numbers, but I dont know if that is the case.
Mabye others are looking for something different but I'm looking for cleaner markup that makes it easier for me to tweak things in an external editor.
On of these days I might finally start writing my own SVG Tidy scripts.
