Gradients are often coded much too elaborate. For gradients the xmlns:xlink namespace is not necessary

  • Gradient definition works fine without the <defs> ... </defs> clamping
  • As always, x="0" and "y="0" are the defaults and can be avoided
  • Even offset="0" is the default and the drawings display fine without (but W3C marks an error if missing)
  • As usual, Inkscape creates huge amounts of crap for the simplest gradients


Most of the files in this category are examples of simple gradient codings. In some cases, the Gaussian blurring as another possibility.


My opinion:

It can clearly be seen that the makers of Inkscape lost the overview, or they never
really understood the principles of gradienting (ok, it is a bit complicated).
For the simplest gradienting, tools create a flood of unreadable gradient code,
which normally can easily be replaced by one (or a few) very simple instruction(s).
As an example, Inkscape always accompanies radial gradients by useless linear gradients.
