Re: Fwd: Question on gradient userSpaceOnUse

The fact that you moved the scale to a parent g with no differences is weird
to me.  Note that there is already a translate of 100,100 on a parent
element that has NO apparent effect on the rects user space

Just to test for consistency I also verified that moving the transform
attribute from the rect in the example Jeff posted up to a surrounding g
element does the same thing. Basically confirming that the current user
space includes the transform on the element itself too. All viewers I tested
displayed the gradients it the same way as in Jeff's original example.

I also added a couple of lines to illustrate what the spec says the gradient
vector should be.

Modified example:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1...

   <g transform="scale(0.25,1)">      <rect width="400" height="50"

     <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="400" y2="50" stroke="black"/>
   </g>

   <rect y="100" width="100" height="50" fill="url(#g2)" />

   <!-- show the gradient vector in current user space -->
   <line x1="0" y1="100" x2="100" y2="150" stroke="black"/>
 </g>
</svg>

I agree that it makes sense to make the gradient perpendicular to the
gradient vector for both 'objectBoundingBox' and 'userSpaceOnUse'.
