problems with svg images

[sevyharris]

Bug Description

I'm trying to export .svg files of my molecules and they're rendering incorrectly in most viewers, including Firefox and PowerPoint. Claude said something about Cairo using feImage or a compositing filter technique.

My Ubuntu Image Viewer can render the file and so I can zoom in and take a screenshot if I need images for a slideshow, but it's not the same. The vectorized image can be resized while a .png starts to introduce losses.

I was able to generate .svg files a year ago, and I'm nervous that if things break down further, I won't be even able to get high quality screenshots.

Example Code

import rmgpy.species
sp = rmgpy.species.Species(smiles='O=CCO[O]')
sp.molecule[0].draw('example.svg')
