Re: How to create own shapes with connections?

There is a small item that sometimes eludes people, which may or may
not be documented.  The shapes used to have intrinsic units of
centimeters. The coordinates of the connection points and the vector
graphics need to be roughly within a 1cm square area to work well. At
least this used to be true.  It has been many years since I messed
around with shape creation, and I was never very satisfied with the
results I got. So I may not be a good source of information.

Ok. One step further to a working shape. The next thing I try to do is
adding the connection points. I'm curious about it.


Never mind your English. It's totally understandable. I mean I ain't a
native speaker too and I think I'm still doing a lot of grammar mistakes.


Thank you so far and best wishes

Ok I find mistake. Sorry for my English. After "path" you can't write style,
it must look that

    <svg:path style="fill: #ffffff" d="M 0 0 L 0.25,-0.25 L -0.625,0 L
0.25,0.25 L 0,0z"/> Wrong

    <svg:path  d="M 0 0 L 0.25,-0.25 L -0.625,0 L 0.25,0.25 L 0,0 Z"
style="fill: #ffffff"/> Wright
and also use space with command "Z" to close path.

Your working code:
<aspectratio type="fixed"/>
  <svg:svg>
    <svg:path  d="M 0 0 L 0.25,-0.25 L -0.625,0 L 0.25,0.25 L 0,0 Z"

style="fill: none; fill-opacity:0; stroke-width: 0.05; stroke: #000000"/>
