    Hello,

    There is a problem when I am trying to save the attached file (question.svg) to eps format. Inkscape pops up a window saying that the file could not be saved.

    Any help will be highly appreciated because this problem occurs in 7 figures that I have prepared.

    Inkscape 1.1.2 (0a00cf5339, 2022-02-04)

        GLib version:     2.72.4
        GTK version:      3.24.33
        glibmm version:   2.66.2
        gtkmm version:    3.24.5
        libxml2 version:  2.9.13
        libxslt version:  1.1.34
        Cairo version:    1.16.0
        Pango version:    1.50.6
        HarfBuzz version: 2.7.4
        Poppler version:  22.02.0

        OS version:       Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

    Looks like the svg was generated outside of Inkscape.

    I would:

    • Clean the document
    • Ungroup all groups
    • Remove all clips and clipping objects
    • Make all blend modes normal
    • Make all partial opacities 100% opaque

    After the above, a great deal of file size can be reduced by selecting all the data points in the scatter chart (>2K objects) and using path>union.  It takes a while, but final filesize is ~500kb.

    Hi Tyler,

    Thank you for your response. You are right, parts of the image have been generated outside of inkscape.

    I followed your instructions (apart from the last one because I need opacity) but with no success.

    Anyway, I understand now that the problem lies on the fact that some parts in a figure were not vector type. If this is the case then the conversion to eps has problems. I started remaking the figures and specifically the parts that contained non-vector items.

    Thank you again for your time :)

    The opacity elements can be replaced with lighter non-transparent colors.

    Also see my new comment #3.
