Hi Stu
We use a lot of SVG's here, ie graphs of plots, but without any problems at all really. Very occasionally I have seen minor issues when the SVG has a gradient in it, but there were a lot of fixes that really helped around version 1.3.3.3.-6 The PDF's generated with the SVG files are perfect and give excellent vector graphics, exactly what you need for pattern plots. Its a dumb question, but what version of Scribus are you using ? If its older that 1.3.3.6 (ish) that may be the reason. Probably best to post one of your problematic SVG's to the bug tracker, and one of the friendly Scribus dev's will take a look and see if it works for them in Scribus ok. -- Kind regards Julian
