I have been struggling with this for a while, and can't seem to find an answer (that works) anywhere. I have an SVG file which looks like this:
<svg
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
...
width="72.9375"
height="58.21875"
...>
...
<g
...
transform="translate(10.75,-308.96875)"
style="...">
<path
inkscape:connector-curvature="0"
d="m -10.254587,345.43597 c 0,-1.41732 0.17692,-2.85384 0.5312502,-3.5625 0.70866,-1.41733 2.14518,-2.82259 3.5625,-3.53125 1.41733,-0.70866 2.11392,-0.70867 3.53125,0 1.41732,0.70866 ... z"
... />
</g>
</svg>
I want to remove the transform="..."
line but still have my image stay where I've placed it (in InkScape). If I manually remove the transform, the image zips to another part of the screen (as expected), but I need to get rid of the transform altogether and, at the same time, have the image stay exactly where I want it. Is there a way to remove/flatten the transforms into the path coordinates themselves? (The only transforms I have to deal with are translate and scale, no matrices.)
