Description Andrei A.T. 2006-03-22 21:00:16 UTC
(Pardon me if I'm wrong, but...)

It seems to me that EOG doesn't actually view svgs, it transforms them to
bitmaps when it loads them, and when you zoom in, that's very visible. The issue
is that some svgs are actually pretty small, so when EOG opens them, you get a
small bitmap, and if you zoom, then it looks... like a bitmap that's been zoomed on.

My request is that it uses cairo (or something) to actually keep the images as
vectors so that it looks nice, even up close.

Note: I'm attatching an image that shows how inkscape handles a svg vs how EOG
does, at close zoom. I think that the inkscape way looks better.

Cheers,

-Andrei T.

By the way, sorry guys if you already realize that this is the case and thought that it would be better or are working on it already. I'm also sorry if I put a little too much into the feature request and you knew exactly what I was talking about from the title. Just being thourough.
