Re: transformations and styles

Curt,
A stroke-width of "1" means a single user unit, not a single pixel. The
transformation you show below makes a user unit 100 times larger than
before, so therefore the stroke-width is also 100 times larger.

If you want a stroke-width of 1 pixel no matter what transformations are
applied, then use the "px" unit specifier:

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='no' ?>
<!DOCTYPE svg SYSTEM 'svg-19991203.dtd' >
<svg width='700' height='700' >
<g style='fill:none; stroke:blue; stroke-width:1px'>
<path d='M 70 448 80 340'/>
<g transform='scale(100)'>
<path d='M 0.8 3.4 .9 3'/>
</g>
</g>
</svg>
