Should unconnected lines be seperate paths? #14

Closed galadran closed 6 years ago

galadran commented 7 years ago

I really like svgbob and I've started using it to mock up diagrams and automatically include them into my LaTex. However, when I come to do final copies, I'll probably want to tweak the diagrams by hand in Inkscape. [1]

I've noticed that some lines seem to be drawn as part of one huge path, for example:

2017-07-10-11 32 17_selection_001_

Although this can be broken apart, each connected component is then composed of multiple tiny paths which are painful to manipulate.

2017-07-10-11 36 31_selection_001_

Is this intended or desirable behavior for some other purpose? If not, it would be great to have them as separate path objects in the svg.

[1] inkscape -D -z --file=bob_file.svg --export-pdf=bob_out.pdf --export-latex and then including the generated Tex file.

Hi, Unfortunately, svgbob is not ready for an organized svg output yet. The optimization algorithm is not very good yet. It may take a while before it would be ready for that purpose.
