Quoting Stephen Winnall <stephen.winnall@...1452...>:
However, I have noticed that contiguous objects in the template are often rendered with a gap between them. Inkspace does this itself when I zoom in on the image, and the Batik rasterizer does it too. I can't overlap the objects at all because they are partially transparent.
Is there a way of fixing this problem with Inkspace? Or is it a feature? Of SVG?
If the objects truly are mathematically abutting, you may be getting bitten by a common implementation technique for antialiasing. You are likely to always get a very faint hairline in those cases.
However, since the effect you observe is dependent on zoom, it sounds like the objects are not quite touching. Without knowing more about the structure and arrangement of the document, I'm not sure of the best solution to making them touch.
In either case, SVG is not to blame per se.
