svg graph export respect line wrapping

[Marc Kaulisch]

I like to illustrate my feature request that svg graph export should be able to respect the line wrapping of strings (see https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...21#post1771621).

In the following example I am using -labsplit- from Asjad Naqvis' package -graphfunctions- either available from SSC or Github (https://github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-graphfunctions).

cwf default
cap frame drop auto
frame create auto
cwf auto

sysuse auto

labsplit make, wrap(1) gen(makesplit)

twoway scatter weight price || ///
scatter weight price if inrange(price,10000,15000), mlabel(makesplit) || ///
, text(5000 3000 "Any two" "lines text") name(sc_w_p_split, replace) //

graph export scatter_weight_price_split.svg, as(svg) replace name(sc_w_p_split)

In the resulting -svg- graph the line wrapping of the text-option is respected but not the line wrapping from the variable. In the svg-code it looks different:

 <textx="2456.69"y="1469.62"style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:79.94px;fill:#8CB110">Volvo
  260</text>
  <textx="944.46"y="149.25"style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:99.99px;fill:#000000"text-anchor="middle">Any two</text>
  <textx="944.46"y="249.25"style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:99.99px;fill:#000000"text-anchor="middle">lines text</text>

Or can I avoid the use of wrapped strings from variables?
Otherwise I have to give up my idea to switch to svg graphs...

I have got feedback from Stata Technical Support. At the moment it is difficult to achieve this kind of line wrapping in -svg- because the svg-standard used in Stata (svg 1.1) does not allow this. There are some more restrictions under the hood... like Stata does not officially support this kind of label wrapping itself...
