Pattern Problem
Hello
I have a problem about patterns. When I use patterns there are lines between them. Sometimes I change width or height, lines are moving. I export them in PNG format but they are still there. (I use seamless patterns)
How can I fix the problem?

WTF? Babelfish? Well, if it's about those seams... that bug report is a duplicate.
>Solution?
Use a different SVG renderer. E.g. Batik.

Re: Pattern Problem
I did a test is working well!
the beauty is that even with the Gimp importing svg is fine ... there is to try Gimp!
The problem is internal inkscape ...

Re: Pattern Problem
In this context "babelfish" refers to machine translation.
And yes, this issue is specific to Inkscape's renderer. Firefox, Opera, Batik, and everything else I tried is able to render patterns without visible seams. Basically they all render to texture first and then handle it like a usual texture fill. The downside to this approach is a loss of crispiness (due to filtering/transformations), but it's rather simple, fast, and doesn't introduce artifacts.
Inkscape's approach is interesting, but it doesn't seem like there is an easy way to fix it. It will most likely also switch to a render to texture approach in the future.

Re: Pattern Problem
Finally, I know it is not a solution, I use bigger patterns for small objects. This time there are no lines.
