This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I'm referencing it in a <use xlink:href="poly" ...
and then trying to transform using scale() and rotate().
If I place the polygon definition in <defs> nothing appears.
If the definition is a simple <g>, it appears,
but none of the transforms.
Code using <defs>

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, in advance.
