Couple of observations & questions upon first use (managed to loadt this https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Obcine_Slovenija_2006.svginto inkscape):

1. if I select entire image with 'edit path by nodes - i.e. select all nodes'
and then path/union .. teh thing crashes for sure.
That works on about 1/4 nodes of upper svg.
But in general, I think. memory is lost and doing that per partes does not help, it leads to crash.

2. I would expect path/union would erase all nodes in between two paths, instead it partly leaves inbetween nodes -->

or is thee something else to do that (erase all inbetween nodes)?

3.my site: http://agrozoo.net/jsp/map.jsp?p1=usdaHardinesZone&p2=Punica%20granatum
no spam, just want to show something. If you move mouse over states you get text behind in tooltip.
Having that in inkscape would be great, forinstance, inteligent merging paths in svg from first link would be then peace of cake.
Or is something like that already in inkscape ?

Hi.



Those nodes inbetween don't mach exact coordinates.
Nor would it be a clear operation even if they were.
Boolean operations -union- are not accurate solutions itself too.

But looking at your site you may even consider to simplify largely this version.
Was made with a few unions, breaking apart, deleting the unnecessary parts,
then unconnecting segments, breaking apart, deleting paths,
then connecting again, and other unions.

You can use svg with css, but yet inkscape cannot display those parts embedded.

Good luck!
