I've started contributing to InkScape in my own way, I have made a dent on a filter to sanitize InkScape.

My motives are purely selfish. I'm one of the authors of SVG, I work with SVG, and I find InkScape to be an excellent tool, but I spend a lot of time editing InkScape output with vi to clean it up for use in dynamic web apps (mostly). A task with very low entertainment value. Writing filters is more fun.

islint is pretty useful to me as is now, it has a way to go before it will serve as a general filter for InkScape.

This is the wrong place to do this, but it will serve for now...

  • Specify a limit to the precision of all positional elements.
DONE trimming precision was my first priority. precision can be set to -1 (off) or 0..9. islint gives an extra decimal to transformation floats, so if you set prec=1, a matrix will have values to two decimal places. This is to preserve a little sanity at a low cost should there be nested transforms.
