Want to share my frustrations that the design i have created in Inscape, is missing the gradient map that i set to an object, when i try and use the file outside of Inkscape.
Does anyone no why this is, or have this happened to them? Is there a best way of creating an SVG that can be used outside of Inkscape? I am facing the prospect of having to do all my work again in another software package (any recommendations?)
Inkscape may offer tools that generate standards-compliant SVG, but that does not ensure that other renderers will support all SVG features.
Mesh gradients are not supported and won't be displayed by most browsers and many other programs.
Attached is a workaround-version where the mesh gradient is used in a rectangle, then the rectangle is copied as a bitmap (Alt+B). The bitmap is clipped by a copy of the lotus. The appearance is nearly identical, and the file displays as expected in browsers and other programs.
Beyond the Basics SVG output not matching what i see in Inkscape

I've attached the logo for what it's worth

Thanks for the reply - do you think the image will print OK then?

Yes, but I always will save a copy as pdf for printing, and keep the svg file for editing.
