I don't believe it's actually resizing all the shapes, just your view of them. As confirmation, I created a 1000×1000 canvas and centered a 500×500 rectangle within it. In the SVG file I see
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
width="1000"
height="1000"
id="svg2"
version="1.1"
inkscape:version="1.1.2 (0a00cf5339, 2022-02-04)"
sodipodi:docname="junk.svg"
viewBox="0 0 1000 1000"
and later,
<rect
style="fill:#5500d4;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:2;stop-color:#000000"
id="rect416"
width="500"
height="500"
x="250"
y="250" />
After executing
svg_root.set('height', 150)
svg_root.set('width', 150)
with Simple Inkscape Scripting, the width
and height
are each 150, and the page and the rectangle look proportionally smaller. However, while the SVG now starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
viewBox="0 0 1000 1000"
sodipodi:docname="junk.svg"
inkscape:version="1.1.2 (0a00cf5339, 2022-02-04)"
version="1.1"
id="svg2"
height="150"
width="150"
the rectangle remains the same size:
<rect
style="fill:#5500d4;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:2;stop-color:#000000"
id="rect416"
width="500"
height="500"
x="250"
y="250" />
This suggests that you need to alter the SVG view box in addition to the width and height. I believe that
svg_root.set('height', 150)
svg_root.set('width', 150)
svg_root.set('viewBox', "0 0 150 150")
will do what you want.
Ps: I am not sure if this is the right way to ask a question. If it is not, please correct me.
This is fine for now but suggests that I ought to enable GitHub Discussions to support future usage questions.
I need to extend the paper or the "background" of the SVG.
The only way I know how to do this is with the following command:
svg_root.set('height', 150) svg_root.set('width', 150)
If you do this, it also resizes all shapes inside of the SVG. I want it to resize without resizing the shapes it contains, so only the "background". Is there a way to do that?
