Coordinates systems : New viewpoints

• Elements which define a new viewpoint are :
• <svg>

<use> or <image> set up a temporary viewpoint to draw the instances of the referenced elements or images
• < marker> sets up a temporary viewpoint to draw arrows or markers

When a text draws a symbol along a path, it uses a temporary viewpoint to draw the symbol
• Same thing for a  pattern
• <mask> also sets up a temporary viewpoint
