Saving figure as .svg alters appearance (2024)

@Marleen please contact tech support and include instructions how to reproduce the problem. Feel free to include the URL of this thread.

Note that using EVAL to access structure fields has been deprecated for around twenty years:

Replace this anti-pattern evil EVAL:

with this simpler, more efficient, recommended dynamic fieldname:

@Stephen23 Haha I was wondering when someone would comment about my mediocre coding skills! Thanks for letting me know, I have a lot of those and it does read horribly, so this will improve my code a lot
