Re: Problem with large coordinates?

If I remember correctly (I haven't looked it up) The limit is not imposed by
the sped, it is implementation dependent.

FYI: Data size minimums from the 1.1 spec.  See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html  Minimums are based on conformance
levels <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/conform.html>.

<integer> An <integer> is specified as an optional sign character ('+' or
'-') followed by one or more digits "0" to "9". If the sign character is not
present, the number is non-negative.
Unless stated otherwise for a particular attribute or
property<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermProperty>,
the range for a <integer> encompasses (at a minimum) -2147483648 to
2147483647.
Within the SVG DOM, an <integer> is represented as an long or an
SVGAnimatedInteger<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#InterfaceSVGAnimatedInteger>.


<number> (real number value): The specification of real number values is
different for property
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermProperty>values than for XML
attribute values.

   - CSS2 [CSS2 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-CSS2-20080411/>] states that
   a property <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermProperty> value which
   is a <number> is specified in decimal notation (i.e., a <decimal-number>),
   which consists of either an
<integer><http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeInteger>,
   or an optional sign character followed by zero or more digits followed by a
   dot (.) followed by one or more digits. Thus, for conformance with CSS2, any
   property <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermProperty> in SVG which
   accepts <number> values is specified in decimal notation only.
   - For SVG's XML attributes, to provide as much scalability in numeric
   values as possible, real number values can be provided either in decimal
   notation <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeDecimalNumber> or
   in scientific notation (i.e., a <scientific-number>), which consists of a
   <decimal-number><http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeDecimalNumber>immediately
followed by the letter "e" or "E" immediately followed by an
   <integer> <http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#DataTypeInteger>.

Unless stated otherwise for a particular attribute or
property<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/intro.html#TermProperty>,
a <number> has the capacity for at least a single-precision floating point
number (see [ICC32 <http://www.color.org/ICC-1A_1999-04.PDF>]) and has a
range (at a minimum) of -3.4e+38F to +3.4e+38F.
It is recommended that higher precision floating point storage and
computation be performed on operations such as coordinate system
transformations to provide the best possible precision and to prevent
round-off errors.  Conforming High-Quality SVG
Viewers<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/conform.html#ConformingHighQualitySVGViewers>are
required to use at least double-precision floating point (see [
ICC32 <http://www.color.org/ICC-1A_1999-04.PDF>]) for intermediate
calculations on certain numerical operations.
Within the SVG DOM, a <number> is represented as a float or an
SVGAnimatedNumber<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/types.html#InterfaceSVGAnimatedNumber>.
