Hi all,
I'd like to share something I discovered recently, partially with a
hint from Marco, when converting SVG symbols to PDF.
1. SVG symbols in the old symbology are rasterized (that one I knew),
but in the new symbology they stay as vectors (that one I didn't know).
2. There is a major bug in the SVG->PDF conversion of SVG point symbols
in the new symbology, due to a bug in the underlying qt-classes:
path-elements or other other basic geometries are always stroked in the
output PDF, unless one explicitly assigns a stroke-width="0"
This violates the SVG standard in two ways:
1. objects aren't stroked in SVG unless explicityl specified with the
stroke and stroke-width attributes
2. if one specifies stroke="none" in SVG qt's SVG->PDF converter still
strokes the elements until one explictly sets the stroke-width to zero.
This is really annoying as it means I have to go over all of my SVG
symbols and add the stroke-width="0" for objects I only want to fill and
not stroke.
I just wanted to let you know in case you run into similar issues.
Andreas
