But this means you must explicitly state all 22 "Alkmar Allah" elements. This can't be the sense/usage of SVG-coding. :-( I want to have a logical strcutred SVG code reflecting the geometric constrcution, not a meaningless heap of coordinates of 3 pathes for 3 colors ! :-(( > * The emblem in the center is built by drawing one half of it and then > cloning and mirroring it.

I know this issue. :-( And the current version has exactly corrected this problem by add atiny logical overlap. But I think mirroring complex pathes is easier for threndere than two times draw/interparte the compl4x path coordinates, doesn't it? Look at flags of Serbia or even Ecuador, how long in real time drawing needs because of HUGE complex pathes. :-( > it cannot eliminate them entirely.

If you are right, this means to abandoned advantage from mirror symmetries (or rotational symmetries) to repeat sub-patterns. I hope you are wrong with "The only way to reliably solve" . :-/ BTW: Sorry, for my many typos and grammar mistakes and wrong wording.
