Hi all,
I’m playing with SVG content generated outside Inkscape that uses the ViewBox property.
I’m experiencing two problems there, can somebody maybe help me with that?
- It seems like inscape ignores the ‘non-scaling stoke’ vector
effect. My view box is 30 x 60 (no units) large, the stroke width is 1px. But is seems like Inscape interprets it as 1 view box unit - and draws the stroke way to thick.
- The same seems to apply to text. The font size seems to be
interpreted as view box units, no matter what unit I define for the font-size (pt, mm, px) Also, the interpretation of the font size seems to differ between browsers and operating systems! Sometimes rendering the font way to large and sometimes way to big.
I've had situations where lengthening a stroke thickens it. There's an arcane adjustment, somewhere, that you set so this doesn't happen. Every time I need to reset it (reinstallation, mostly) I spend an hour of experimentation finding it, and shut it off.
If I need a thin line whose width increases with its length, I make a very skinny rectangle with black fill and 0px stroke.
