Erroneous automatic dimension/location changes in Inkscape

Asked by Petrus Adamus

After using path union (or other path operations), location of most points and object dimensions are slightly changed (ex. 15.002 px instead of original 15.000 px) - small, but problematic erroneous changes.

Hi Petrus,

this is a known inaccuracy in Inkscape's Boolean operations routine.

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1342911, https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/723559 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1417299.

As far as I know, this is being worked on (and a master thesis is being written about it) by Krzysztof Kosiński.

Kind regards,
 Maren
