Hi,

I've been tasked by the SVG Working group to summarize scaling issues in SVG. What I mean by scaling issues, is things that one perhaps doesn't want scaled when zooming in or out on a drawing. An example would be a non-scaling line width for technical drawings (this has already been accepted for inclusion into SVG 2.0).

Inkscape doesn't have any zoom independent features (except for outline mode) but it does include options for when objects are scaled or moved:

1. Scaling stroke width when scaling an object. 2. Scaling rectangle corners with scaling rectangles. 3. Scaling/moving gradients when objects with gradients are moved. 4. Scaling/moving patterns when objects with patters are moved.

These would be candidates for non-scaling while zooming. Are there any other cases where non-scaling would while zooming would be of interest?

Thanks,

Tav
