If you set ....transform="scale(1.0,0.5)"... or any other case where the two values for scale() are not the same, then lines with the same stroke-width attribute have different actual widths, depending on the angle of the line. This is the case even if you specify a unit for the stroke-width value (e.g. px, mm, em). This seems to be an accepted 'feature' of SVG (e.g. Kurt Cagle's 'SVG Programming', page 187), but if this is really the case then it's quite horrendous.
For example: I want to use SVG to draw a graph (in the sense of a plot of one variable against another: say temperature against time). Naturally, I want to scale the x and y axes into my units (degrees and days) using scale(TempScale,TimeScale), so that the x and y values for the <line> element are in my units. This is fine - but (as above) the thickness of the line between two points depends on its angle! - totally unacceptable. Is there any solution to this problem which allows me to do the scaling into my own units? I should point out that even keeping the same units (e.g. px) is not really a solution, since I'm making an interactive application, and the user might want to add a second graph in the same box with different min or max for the x or y variables, once again introducing differences between the x and y scaling. Sorry if this is a well-worn issue, but I've not found any solution, and would greatly appreciate one. ----- To unsubscribe send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -or- visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers and click "edit my membership" ---- Yahoo!
