3D plots in PDFs generated with interp shading disappear from SVG

[rlkamalapurkar]

I generated a PDF file using

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\begin{document}
    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}
            \addplot3[ surf, shader=interp, samples=10, domain=0:1, ]{x^2*y};
        \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

and converted it to SVG using dvisvgm --pdf document.pdf. The resulting SVG file only has the axis lines, but the surface plot is gone.

dvisvgm doesn't support shading patterns as used for PDF gradient fills. So it's currently not possible to fully convert PDF or EPS files that contain these kind of patterns.
