I would like to have an option in "simplify" that puts the control points on pixel boundaries, in order to reduce the precision of the numbers in the svg file. Now every floating point number has 5 digits, whereas 0 or 1 digit would probably not make a visually significant change.
Me Too. Sounds like an excellent idea for an extension.
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.
