If I could add a few of my own experiences here, formthe view of someone who doesn't know what the interiors of svg look like. I, too, would like to offer to users of our software an svg option, because it is a standard, preserves quality, and, unlike postscript, is better supported in terms of freely available editors such as inkscape.
In playing with plplot svg's (I just used Example x01): The cairo svg opens fine in Inkscape, but the text doesn't render properly in firefox The -dev svg opens fine in firefox, but won't open in Inkscape. The labels are displaced when it opens in imagemagick. It is rendered pretty well by gimp (though this loses the vector nature of the plot). It fails to open in kde's konqueror, complaining that a legal svg document requires an <svg> root element. Taking this as a hint, I can edit the -dev svg to get it to open in inkscape and konqueror by deleting the leading <document> tag (and it's close at the end of the file). In inkscape, the y-labels are displaced outward from where they should be. I can conduct some more experiments if desired. Steve On Mon, 2008-09-29 at 22:39 -0700, Alan W.
