I know I've seen a question like this posted before but I can't for the life of me find it, so I hope you folks don't mind a repost. I am creating some static drawings manually (notepad) using SVG and to aid in the process I am making heavy use of symbols, transformations, pre-defined shapes, etc. I was wondering if there were any tools out there that could take such an SVG and for lack of a better term...'flatten' it. i.e. take shapes and convert them to paths, take <use> tags and insert the actual SVG, replace nested transforms with actual x,y coordinates, etc. The end result would be a really ugly XML/SVG doc that renders to the same content as the original, but is 10x the size and completely unmanageable. Why would I want such a beast? Well I am thinking 2 things... speed in rendering (I've heard that nested transforms can slow things down a bit) and the ability to import into other applications that don't fully understand SVG. Any thoughts/insights would be most appreciated.
