Re: svg export with svg embedded

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

I don't know it this helps, but Dia is based on centimeters.  When you make shapes you work in cm and things turn out well.  Work in other units and it is troublesome.  This may be true when importing from Inkscape as well.

Hello Andrew. I didn't think of this, thank you.

The svg is produced with Inkscape.  Right now I read the file and set
the size with svg:image. How would I set the image size when including
the (rather complex) svg file? Is there a similar technique to set the
size as with svg:image?
