Hi

Not sure if this belongs to the "devel" mailing list (maybe tangentially, if it leads to enhancements?)

I know this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find the final resolution to all the questions (here's a related post that doesn't seem to clinch it: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10646)

I have the same problem: via the command line I'm getting one type of value, but in the SVG document a different value is listed.

COMMAND LINE: inkscape -f doc.svg --query-x --query-id=rect4487-1-7 139.43438

inkscape -f doc.svg --query-y --query-id=rect4487-1-7 128.13251

WITHIN THE SVG DOCUMENT:

<rect
   id="rect4487-1-7"
   ry="0.53296167"
   height="1.0654094"
   width="10.142718"
   y="72.914459"
   x="79.345848"
   style="fill:currentColor" />

Also, within the svg doc, the dimensions are: width="315" height="206"

And thus the above can't seem to account for the discrepancy, by means of origin position adjustment (width - x, height - y)

So far, it looks like different units are used.

I think I solved it: The object mentioned above was inside a group (<g ... >) which had a scale transform (1.757299,1.757299); looks like it accounts for the discrepancy, exactly (unscaling and adding half of the height and width appears to yield exact same values)

thanks.
