Bug Description
When exporting an EPS file out of Inkscape, the result is loosing a few nodes/points after importing into target app. The same is not happening with Illustrator.
Steps to create:
build any shape and export as eps. Import into maya.
After fiddling with the files and analyzing them, it is reproducibly fixable by changing two things inside the eps:
1. the lines have to be drawn by using the lineto /l command rather than the exported curveto /c command.
2. As lines consist of two points, the redundant information for positioning have to be removed -> coordinates are saved in triples followed by the connector '/c' at the end. These have to be tuples followed by '/l'
The result is coming out inverted (upside down), but this is a rather neglectable issue.
See also the attached files.
I would boldly assume this a something that can be included into the exporter as an option and might already be inside the cairo toolset.
Inkscape Version: Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11)
OS: Win 10
Target App: Maya, any version
thank you for taking the time to issue a report. I have not been able to reproduce the problem using Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.3 (2405546, 2018-03-11), and the attached svg file.
could you attach your original svg file for testing purposes?
