Re: [Inkscape-user] How to make an SVG connector?

12 May 2017

      As someone who uses connectors all the damn time, I'd like to toss in
support for... uh more support. :D
They actually slow down inkscape, and the more of them they are the
worse it gets. If someone could fix that and bring proper support to
svg (even Inkscape's svg 2.0+ that will surely result from continued
development) I'm all for it. I know others who also want better
connector support as well.

Hi Steve,
What you're looking at there is draft svg specification. Something that
wasn't accepted as svg. At the moment, SVG 1.1 and 2.0 both don't have
connector support. This specification was spun out into a module
because it's not useful to web browsers, so it sits over there waiting
for someone to add it to inkscape.
But even if we did, it wouldn't be supported in browsers, it'd just be
useful to us. So not exactly useful overall.
What was your plan?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi all,
I want to be able to make an *SVG* connector that doesn't rely on the
facilities of Inkscape to do its thing. According to this URL there
is
such a thing:
https://dev.w3.org/SVG/modules/connector/SVGConnector.html#ConnectorE
lement
When I make a connector in Inkscape using the little connector
symbol,
in XML it shows up as a path, not a connector, and it has
inkscape:connector-type. When I save as plain SVG, the
inkscape:connector-type goes away, and it's nothing more than a line
segment.
How do I make a real SVG connector in Inkscape?
Thanks,
SteveT
