If you watch a three year old draw a circle, they will go around multiple times to make a big bold circle. SVG can't do that, so it must be broken. However, it has stroke-width to achieve the same effect.

The gui tool just generates the correct SVG. It would involve multiple shapes, naturally - some stroked and some filled. You should look for tools that have union, intersection, and other constructive geometry features. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group Member, W3C Technical Architecture Group
