SVG version often rasterized with gaps about libqrencode HOT 3 OPEN

I just stumbled upon PR #41 and the --svg-path option, which indeed solves the issue above, and looks like the right thing to do indeed.

Maybe putting the option a bit more forward somehow, or enabling it by default, would be nice?

Thank you!

Instead, I would suggest to specify --svg-no-path as a command line option and let the default behavior to create it using paths when SVG is selected. I couldn't think of a use-case where it is useful, having no paths, but if some users want it, then they can still have it.

I found this thread because I was also having this issue too. While --svg-path fixed the problem in my image viewer (Gnome) and inkscape, the issue still comes up for me in LibreOffice Draw and the PDFs it generates.

If I run qrencode -o test.svg -t SVG --svg-path 'hello world', I get this in my image viewer:

However, the gaps come back when I embed that image into LibreOffice Draw:

And they persist when I export the document as a PDF:

Maybe this is a LibreOffice issue—the link you shared to the old inkscape issue makes it clear that rendering cases like this is non-trivial. I just thought I'd share my experience since it doesn't seem this issue is fully solved.
