switch to cm instead of pixels?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A request for enhancement:
the TikZ code produced by inkscape2tikz would be much easier to edit if instead 
of pixels it used cm (which is the default in tikz) as primary dimension, and 
if y-coordinate was multiplied by -1, so instead of 

\begin{tikzpicture}[y=0.80pt,x=0.80pt,yscale=-1]
\path[draw=black] (168.0839,258.1656)...

it would produce

\begin{tikzpicture}[y=1cm, x=1cm]
\path[draw=black] (4.706, -7.228)...

(or better yet, replace y by (height-y) to have values positive).

From the commented out code in function transform(self, coord_list, cmd=None) I 
see that this feature was probably planned (or at least considered). Or is 
there any reason why it was removed?

Thanks for the great tool!

I agree. This is on my todo list. While debugging it is easier to use pixels 
because there is then a one to one mapping between SVG and TikZ coordinates. 
This is why I have disabled this feature temporarily.
