Well, I couldn't seem to figure out how to do it -- not using Illustrator, anyway. :/
In any case, though, I still don't get the rationale for doing it in SVG instead of PNG anyway. I do realize that the former is vector and the latter raster, but nevertheless in the context of ebooks the quality is not only negligible, but virtually indiscernible.
And then there's the compatibility issue (if one wants to convert to MOBI format).
And then there's the file size issue (as I mentioned last time, for that one image I did in both formats, the SVG one was almost 20x the size of the PNG one).
Seems like I have multiple reasons for going with PNG instead, and the
only reason to go with SVG is because it's vector -- and yet, you don't even notice any difference in quality anyway, so that's hardly an argument in its favour at all.
