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
