This SVG file was originally produced in Inkscape or a similar vector graphics editor but later modified in a text editor to clean up XML source code, add sophisticated features which cannot be used in Inkscape, or reduce the file size. Editors are strongly discouraged from overwriting this SVG file with one saved in Inkscape, even the "Plain SVG" format. Workarounds should be employed to maintain code neatness so other editors can access this file in a text editor with ease.
