Hi Pieter,
There are two considerable issue. Both of them are not faults of ParaView. Your ParaView may be working good. The first is anti-aliasing. The edges of vector format graphics are smoothed with some kind of anti-aliasing algorithm. These algorithms usually can't treat contacts of vector polygons exactly, so we can find tiny gaps. # Usually two 50% transparent layers can't make a solid layer. # If you have Photoshop or other Graphics softwares, let's try it. The second is round-off errors between OpenGL and SVG. General SVG exporters' precisions are 3 decimal places. The lowest numbers may have some errors, so some polygons do not keep contacts between themselves. If I were you, I may write some scripts to merging side-by-side polygons. I think this is the most certain way.
