Perhaps you have plans for collision detection? :) > Not sure if it would apply here, but I had an svg job where symbols would go on top of each other, so that later ones obscured earlier ones (no labels or arcs). I wanted it to be clear that there were several symbols at one location. I achieved this by randomly dithering the x and y coordinates of each point - no collision detection, just mechanically modifying the coordinates. I did this by generating a pair of strings containing random digits (I used Python to generate them, and simply pasted the strings into the stylesheet). I used the position() of the node to index into the string to get the random value to add to the coordinate. This simple trick worked surprisingly well, and it incurs almost no overhead.
