Comment 5 for bug 1016763

- was this originally a pdf file or a svg file? If it was originally an svg file, would it be possible to assign it a non-zero stroke width like 0.01 mm? Inkscape will display narrow line widths of this type. In order to see them easily you may need to use Outline mode display. Click on the menu item View->Display Mode->Outline. In this mode, the Fill will not show, but the Stroke will.

- In Inkscape's outline mode the above imported protractor.pdf shows the hairline strokes completely as far as I can tell. The problem is they have no stroke width and no color. A typical hairline stroke in this diagram has the style property given by

fill:none;stroke:none

In order to display this normally in Inkscape, it would be necessary to edit the line so that it looked something like this:

fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:0.008;

Could this be done in your Python program?
