SVG Limitations

Note that it's possible to have a SVG file that specifies a stroke greater than 0.5, but if the object is being scaled down due to a transform the stroke will be reduced. If the final reduced stroke is less than or equal to 0.5, the issue will appear. Similarly, it's fine for an SVG to specify a stroke of .5 or less if the object is being scaled up. | Note that it's possible to have a SVG file that specifies a stroke greater than 0.5, but if the object is being scaled down due to a transform the stroke will be reduced.

This page lists things that SVG supports that WarLight does not, or things within SVG files that can cause quirky behavior.
Not Supported
- Embedded Images
- Gradients
- Masks
- Stroke joint styles other than Round
- Stroke styles other than solid, such as dashed lines.
Bug with Small Strokes
There's a bug with Flash that causes strokes (object's borders) to appear too small when the stroke's thickness is 0.5 or lower.
When strokes are 0.5 or lower, Flash will render the stroke as a hairline stroke. That is, an infinitely small one that always takes up one pixel no matter how far you zoom in.
For this reason, you should avoid any strokes of 0.5 or lower.
