[Qgis-developer] Fwd: Question re: rotating an SVG

[Jesse McGraw]

I'm attempting to use an SVG image of a compass rose as a background
element that is rotated by a data defined number of degrees.

Currently, when the image is rotated, the numbers on the outside of the
ring are not rotating as expected along with the rest of the image (I want
to rotate the image as a whole).

I thought perhaps QGIS might be rotating each object within the SVG
independently but that doesn't seem to be the case either

Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue with the SVG or perhaps
QGIS' SVG rendering?

I've included links to the SVG itself as well as a screenshot of what it
currently looks like in QGIS and what I'd expect it to look like (as done
manually in Inkscape).
