Missing edges in svg file for some point characters when background color is set

[andrewmarx]

I'm trying to save some plots in the svg format, but edges are not being outputted for some symbols in the svg file when a background color is used. They show up fine in the plot pane and png outputs. Here is an example of the issue:

Potentially useful info:

• Completely removed R and associated packages and did a fresh install of 3.4.4.
• Tested on 2 Ubuntu based operating systems (16.04LTS and 18.04LTS)
• Attached plots (in zip file because svg files cannot be attached)

library("svglite")

dat <- data.frame(x = c(1,2,3,4,5),
                  y = c(1,2,3,4,5),
                  sym = c(21,22,23,24,25))

svglite("~/plot.svg")
plot(dat$x, dat$y, pch = dat$sym, width = 6, cex = 5)
dev.off()


svglite("~/plot2.svg")
plot(dat$x, dat$y, pch = dat$sym, width = 6, bg = "yellow", cex = 5)
dev.off()

Andrew; did you ever solve this issue?

I can no longer reproduce this issue, so it seems to have been resolved. Please reopen if you still see it
