Hi,
I'm a newbie using inkscape to annotate a floor plan I've created with cairo. I'm having a few little problems when I try to do this. The first problem is that the size of the objects in my floor plan change when I change the page format. For example, if I generate a square intended to print as 1" on a side, it initially is the correct size when I open the svg file with inkscape. However, after I pick a page format (eg: US Letter), the size of the square changes significantly. I'm not sure if this is newbie ignorance or a bug in cairo or inkscape. Below is some C code that generates an svg file with a 1" square as an example. How can I make objects print at their original size without simply manually rescaling everything after setting the page format?
Thanks,
David
