(Get the code!)
I know for example that Postscript and PDF support "hairline" by setting stroke width to 0. When viewed in most PS/PDF viewers this displays the line as 1pixel wide no matter how zoomed you are.
When you import a PDF with hairlines into inkscape, the hairlines are not shown, and if you re-save the file, the hairlines appear to be deleted in the result.
It seems that inkscape is geared mostly towards SVG which does not support hairlines, but it would be nice to be able to support this very useful feature for vector file formats that allow it.
I have attached a pdf of a protractor which I have generated using python PyX library. All the lines are set as hairlines for laser cutter usage. The hairlines view as expected in adobe Reader 9 and evince on Ubuntu 13.04. I wanted to use inkscape to combine this with another vector logo file, but cannot use it due to the above mentioned issue.
