Re: SVG output - Group multiple grobs together

Hi James,  I'm cc'ing the user list, as per the usual custom.

Thanks. I will work through David's example. It seems it isn't possible to embed more than one item within a group and one group per grob is the only approach for the time being. If this is the case then why use groups rather than adding the attributes to the grob itself?

Good question.  I think it's because some grobs produce more than one glyph, path, or shape in the SVG, so the groups group these together as one thing.  Might be interesting to explore feasibility of conditionally adding groups only when needed (for grobs with multiple shapes) and otherwise adding properties to the (single) SVG shapes themselves.

Cheers,
Paul
