Inkscape adding X number of pixels to vertical coordinates (diff coordinate systems on diff layers)

gk01 · Postby **gk01** » Thu Mar 23, 2017 11:29 am

For whatever reason, out of the blue and all of a sudden Inkscape randomly started adding 57.5 pixels to vertical coordinates. Below is a screenshot.

Since the line is placed in the corner of the document one would expect the coordinates to be:

M 2, 2 H 13

and not

M 2, 58.5 H 13

but obviously this is not the case. Below is what it ends up looking like in the browser.

I've tried creating a new document, but the anomaly persists.

I've never experienced any issues like this before, so I would be incredibly grateful if somebody knows and or can explain what's causing this unusual behaviour.

It would be sooo useful to have the svg file. Without it only vague guesses are possible

OMFG "file too large" and there's literally 2 layers, each with a single line on them...

(i got the coordinates working fine on one layer, but it's basically using different coordinate systems for different layers. how is that even possible?)

There is a transform applied to the "rougue" layer. It has been moved. Just like an object or group can be moved/scaled/etc., so can a layer, because layers are groups.

If the layer is selected in the XML editor, the layer can be moved. Subsequent placement of objects will show their location in the xml with coordinates relative to the layer.

Note in my example, the object coordinates of the rectangle objects are identical, but they have different locations in the page. "Layer 1 Copy" has been moved, by selecting it in the XML editor and dragging on the selected layer contents.

If your new documents are made from a custom template, the custom template might have a saved layer transform.

You can fix it by creating a new layer in the document and moving the contents into it (and also fix the template, of course).

thank you so much tyler, and ty miono. you learn something new everyday. i thought i was going to have to recopy everything to a new document, and there was like 60+ layers with shit tons of paths

Thanks to you as well... I wouldn't have though a layer would get transformed, but as you say, you learn something new everyday.

Mostly, they acquire transforms if you change the document size. In 0.91, this causes difficulties with tiled clones (and a couple more things).
