Is there a way in SVG to draw a line that keeps thin when the image is stretched?
I'm using a SVG image as a CSS background, something like this:
<svg ... preserveAspectRatio="none" viewBox="0 0 15 15">
<line x1="0" y1="15" x2="15" y2="0"
color="#000" stroke="#333" stroke-width="1" />
</svg>
(A diagonal line). I'm stretching this image through a rectangular element, and when the element is bigger, the line gets thicker, but I need an always-thin line.
Possible? Something like "thin" lines in flash.

How to fit image without stretching and maintain aspect ratio? Answer: If you want to use the image as a CSS background, there is an elegant solution. Simply use cover or contain in the background-size CSS3 property. contain will give you a scaled-down image.
You can use the CSS background-size: cover; to stretch and scale an image in the background with CSS only. This scales the image as large as possible in such a way that the background area is completely covered by the background image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio.
Using CSS, you can set the background-size property for the image to fit the screen (viewport). The background-size property has a value of cover . It instructs browsers to automatically scale the width and height of a responsive background image to be the same or bigger than the viewport.
In browsers that implement SVG 1.2T you can have a non-scaling stroke Opera and Webkit support this as does Firefox from version 15.
<!-- via property -->
<line … vector-effect="non-scaling-stroke" />
<!-- via CSS -->
<style>
line { vector-effect:non-scaling-stroke }
</style>
<line … />
