Error opening certain SVG files.

Postby KasperH » Fri Feb 01, 2019 7:53 am

Hello!

Thanks in advance for reading this.
I'm using Inkscape on a mac and I cannot open certain SVG files. Directly upon opening the file, this error shows: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now.", Other SVG files work, and I cannot figure out what's wrong with the non-working SVG's.

I use Inkscape for minor editing and sending SVG files to my plotter (axidraw 2). As I said, other SVG files work perfectly, and looking at the files in Sublime text doesn't show anything broken or corrupted.

Inkscape 0.91 r13725 / MacOS Mojave 10.14.3 bèta

Not working SVG file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QT1Iy ... JrSJ6w2xPt
Working SVG: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1K8NDa ... UaUAfn9Heu (same output mechanism/website)

As for now, my running theory is that the polyline has too many points.
Thanks for your time, hopefully, you could give me some pointers as of where to start searching.

A simple calculation error in the vectorizing software. Two instances of coordinates (start/end) came up as NaN. I changed those to zeros and the file opens in Inkscape.

What software is used for the image to SVG?
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Hi Tyler,

Thanks! I now see it indeed, there are four NaN's in the source code.
In the end, this website generated the SVG: https://turtletoy.net/turtle/be2de62eaa, its an adaptation from this "turtle".
But the NaN problem was probably already in the encoding: https://codepen.io/ge1doot/pen/95c184a6 ... 7b77ff026f

Anyway, mucho gracias for your input!
