Comment 4 for bug 169071

Originator: NO

I feel that calling the 0.45.1 rendering 'superior' is a bit of an
overstatement. But yes, the regression is there nevertheless. The code that
handles rotation and skewing in filters has gone through big changes
between 0.45.1 and SVN head.

It seems that you've bumped into especially bad combination of squishing
and rotation with this, too.

The good solution would be to implement a pixblock transformer with either
bilinear or bicubic filtering in Inkscape. The fast solution would be to
just increase the resolution used for images inside the filters rendering
code, when applicable. The latter is pretty much, how 0.45.1 archieves this
better result.
