Re: [Inkscape-devel] Proposal: get rid of bbox coords for gradients

With CVS Inkscape, do this experiment:

1. Draw a rect, open fill&stroke, switch it from flat color to linear

gradient. By default it is created with bbox coords.

2. DO NOT MOVE that rect, but Ctrl+C it and Ctrl+Shift+V style to some

other objects around it.

3. Now move the original rect a bit (this will convert its gradient to

userspace coords behind the scenes - no visible change) and copy/paste style from it again to compare.

So to make this clear:

Before the behavior was always as in 2;

Now, as you see, it's kinda broken and mid-way, depending on whether you move the object or not;

In the future I plan to make it act always as in 3 (but maybe add an optional 2 later).
