[Geoserver-users] Using SVG image as Mark not resizing

I am running GeoServer 2.9.0 and using CSS styling. I set up my style to
render a mark which sizes and positions depending on the zoom level.
Originally I used a PNG for the mark, and once I was happy with the result I
created a SVG using Inkscape. When I replace the PNG with the SVG it does
not appear to resize the image according to mark-size, but rather uses the
top left corner of the SVG. The SVG is fairly big relative to final size it
is rendered.

Any help / considerations on using SVG would be appreciated.

As rendered using PNG:

As rendered unsing SVG:

Hi Derek,
a SVG normally declares its bounds in the header, often using a viewBox attribute:

May it be that your SVG have a viewbox selecting just a part of it?

Cheers
Andrea

Hi Andrea

After some experimentation I can see the viewbox is the issue. This is my
first time using SVG and I have blindly tried multiples of the exisisting
viewport, but don't know what the actual values should be. Do you have any
reccomendation for an SVG editor?

Thank you
Derek

Hi,
while I never built a SVG icon myself, looking at samples around the net it seems
Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator are two popular choices

Cheers
