[xep-support] Adobe SVG

[Nikolai Grigoriev]

Marc,

the problem with yout file not showing in XEP is again due
to transparency issue, this time within the SVG file itself.
Rectangular tiles in your picture are produced using the
following construct (omitting all but relevant parameters):

<path  style="fill-opacity:0; stroke:#000000; stroke-width:0.1"
     d="M 2.8 3.3 L 2.8 4.7 L 4.8 4.7 L 4.8 3.3 L 2.8 3.3 z"/>

As you can see, the fill color is not specified (and therefore
defaults to black), but the fill opacity is 0, making the
rectangle completely transparent. However, XEP does
not support fill-opacity yet. It draws your tiles with
opaque fill,  making it all black.

The only feasible solution for XEP 3.8 is to specify no fill
or some opaque fill color instead of transparency. That is,
if you replace "fill-opacity:0" in all style specifiers with
"fill:none" or "fill:white", it will show in XEP as expected.

Best regards,
Nikolai Grigoriev

Thanks for pointint this out. That reasons shouldn't apply here since
the file does not contain any embedded png. It is apart from one tag
from the "sodipodi" namespace "pure" SVG.

Thanks! I've attached the file.

Best regards,
