We use inkscape for designing SVG graphics
that are used and animated with http://pvbrowser.org

Within pvbrowser we can hide/show/move/rotate/resize objects that have a name within the SVG code.

There is 1 inconvenience when drawing graphics.

- SVG coordinates start in the upper left corner
- inkscape coordinates, that are displayed within inkscape, start in the lower left corner

We would wish a new option, that would make inkscape show SVG coordinates.

It's scheduled for 0.47.

Is anyone still working on this? This post is from 2 years ago?

You mean 1 year ago?

Inkscape's development is slow, but anyone can volunteer their time to speed it up.
