I've been developing a drawing initially using Gran Paradiso (Firefox latest build) until I discovered how far superior the latest Opera is for SVG and continued viewing the file (generated by a Perl script) in Opera.
I now discover that neither Firefox nor Safari accept negative coordinates and deal with these as zeros. For example the rectagle below is shown 12 units higher (I use a matrix to convert to Cartesian coordinates) than I intend. Only Opera behaves as I want. <rect x="42" y="-12 " width="5.75" height="112" fill="burlywood" /> Are negative coordinates illegal? Firefox and Safari report no error but just ignore the "-12". Kudos to the Opera people anyway. It is so much easier to work with. In the Perl script I have an option to open the file in Opera once it is written or simply to activate Opera. If I choose the latter option I then refresh the page and all my scaling and view options in Opera are preserved. This means I can work on a part of the drawing at any scale I want without having to scroll and zoom to that part every time I edit the file.
