To create those three shapes I used the function "F5 (create circles, ellipsis and arcs)" and "Shift+F6 (Bezier curves and straight lines)".
Inkscape uses the element "ellipsis" and not "circle", and "path" and not "line" and "polyline".
- Inkscape 0.91 does create circle elements if you hold down Ctrl while creating one. For the rest, yes, no lines, no polylines.
How can create SVG code with circle, line and polyline please with using the GUI?
- Circle: see above. Line / Polyline: don't think that works, only with XML editor.
And what is the concept behind the actual behaviour of Inkscape not to use the basic shape elements please?
- I'm not a developer, but I would think it could be to simplify the code. It doesn't make a visual difference, and having less elements is probably easier to deal with. Or maybe the libraries Inkscape depends on don't use it, or maybe it's just a matter of nobody showing enough interest in implementing it, and nobody requesting it. Don't know.
You can browse the bug reports to see if there's a feature request for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape
Further the XML editor doesn't show the element ellipsis for the red object: http://borumat.de/+screenshots/hc-2016.02.27-13_47_29.png
It shows the element path. But that is not correct as the source code shows
What is please the reason for that behaviour of the XML-Editor?
- I can't confirm that with Inkscape 0.91: http://imgur.com/xZUVhAul.png
