Description

  • The width needs quotation marks around its value: <svg width="...">. This does not seem to be a problem in a browser but inkscape can't display it.
  • Optimise the boxes to not create faces that are hidden underneath other faces. And maybe draw it as one big box with lines instead of many small ones.
  • Spacing of labels

Research direction

Start by locating the SVG generation entry point and reproduce the current output in Inkscape, where the unquoted width causes a display problem. Review the generated boxes and label spacing, then verify that the output uses quoted width values, avoids unnecessary hidden faces, and has improved label spacing.
