Small attachments are fine. Please also post images that show the gaps.<div><br><br>On Sunday, September 23, 2012, Pieter Barendrecht wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Thanks David. I downloaded the source and compiled ParaView for my 32bit Arch Linux system (resulting in a directory with over 39.000 files totaling about 2 GB, I didn't expect it to be this extensive...!).<br>
<br>
Using "File" → "Export Scene..." it is possible to save the scene in a couple of different vector formats. Exporting to SVG works quite nicely, however, the exported polygons don't link together in a completely seamless way. That means that there is a very small gap between all of them. Is this behavior intended (i.e. is it a feature or a bug)?<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what the policies are regarding attachments in this mailing list? If allowed I could attach the original .OBJ file, which is about 5 kB.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Pieter<br>

I read something about a patch written by Sven Buijssen, and supposedly there used to be a branch which included this patch (<a href="https://github.com/demarle/ParaView/branches/vector-graphics-export" target="_blank">https://github.com/demarle/ParaView/branches/vector-graphics-export</a>), but it appears not to be in use anymore.<br>
